Download or read book MoneySmart Divorce written by Esther M. Berger and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1996 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over one million marriages will end in divorce this year. Over one million women will not live happily ever after. They will, even by conservative estimates, suffer a 24 percent decrease in living standards while their ex-husbands' fortunes drop by 5 percent at most." "Divorce hurts. But it hurts women a lot more than men. Especially from a financial perspective." "The emotional and financial dynamics of divorce are unlike those of any other life transition. Never do money and emotions intersect more painfully than during and immediately following divorce. At no other times are a woman's net worth and her self-worth so completely intertwined. During divorce negotiations, money becomes a symbol of all that has gone wrong in the marriage. Fear, pain, anger, and guilt all culminate in arguments about money." "Money becomes a reward for whoever succeeds at the emotional bartering game. But the emotional wear and tear of divorce often prevents women from making moneysmart decisions that will affect the rest of their lives." "Now Esther M. Berger, a Beverly Hills certified financial planner, offers women at every income level the critical information they need to know before, during, and after divorce. With advice on everything from making the first phone call to an attorney to negotiating alimony and child support to living on a post-divorce budget, MoneySmart Divorce helps you move beyond the emotional turmoil and confusion to discover that there is life after divorce." "MoneySmart Divorce teaches women which professional advisors you need - and how to find them; how to separate your emotions from your money during difficult financial negotiations; how to avoid classic "Divorce Dirty Tricks"; how to use the Two C's and Two D's to negotiate a moneysmart settlement; and how to formulate your own financial plan and make investment decisions that work for you." "The cost of divorce is incredibly high, in both financial and psychological terms. MoneySmart Divorce helps you acknowledge and confront the pain of divorce while at the same time providing the necessary tools for moving forward and taking control of your own financial life."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book I Now Pronounce You Financially Fit written by Pam Friedman and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book explores an overlooked but pivotal truth: Divorce is a financial planning issue. All too often, people willingly enter into marriage without even discussing our investments, obligations, income, budget, or the impact a divorce might have on our financial futures. Why would we taint our special day by talking about money when there are caterers to hire and dicey family dynamics to manage? Both men and women think marriage is supposed to be about trust, love, and romance. And it is. But we are ignoring an important reality. The current divorce rate is about fifty percent. In I Now Pronounce You Financially Fit, Pam Friedman talks about this financial elephant in the room. In marriage, as Friedman explains, it is never too late to protect our money from the financial devastation of divorce. And if divorce is unavoidable, her advice can help us through that too. Pam Friedman uses her twenty-plus years of experience in financial planning and investing to advise us about how to address our finances as couples. By being sensible, informed, and realistic, we can prevent many of the financial problems that cause divorce—or that divorce can cause. ​Read this book and let Pam Friedman help you discover your happily ever after.

Download or read book How to Hide Money From Your Husband written by Heidi Evans and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-04-05 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Heidi Evans's ninety-one-year-old aunt died, her sons were dumbstruck to discover a bankbook with a balance of $50,000 hidden in her top drawer. She had been a devoted housewife and mother all of her adult life -- so where had the money come from? But the women in the family just smiled. They knew. Like generations of women, Aunt Lee had been building a nest egg, stashing away a few dollars a week from her household allowance (and maybe sometimes from Uncle Irving's pockets) so that she could have a little money of her very own -- for a rainy day, for her kids, or just to pay for her dreams. Now Evans revives this age-old practice of stowing away money and shows women of all ages how a nest egg can make marriage more secure and more fun, and divorce or widowhood less devastating. This award-winning journalist shows us just how the nest egg works by introducing us to a fascinating variety of women whose marriages have been marked by the war over money. These intimate and revealing stories give us a clear view of the financial landscape within marriage today, from relationships in which men control the money -- and their wives -- to families in which women can openly save their own money for the years ahead. And so we meet Veronica, a hair colorist in her twenties who stashes $20 a day from her tips so she can pay for the little luxuries she and her new husband would like. And Meryl, whose husband left her for a younger woman after twenty-five years of marriage and who now finds that divorce has generated a desperate need for private savings. Later, we meet Irene, a seventy-seven-year-old for whom early widowhood might have meant poverty for her and her sons if she hadn't been so smart about creating a nest egg. The age-old tradition of the nest egg has become more important for women than ever. Indeed, financial security is the number-one problem facing women today, in and out of marriage. Women are still earning only 76 cents to every dollar earned by men and champing at the bit to have equal footing -- or at least the ability to buy that third pair of black pumps without an argument. What to do? Save a little for yourself...with the full knowledge of your husband (if you can) or on the sly (if you must). Whether you pick your husband's pockets or work like a dog for your own paycheck, money is marriage insurance, and it's nonnegotiable. So what are you waiting for?

Download or read book The Ashgate Research Companion to Feminist Legal Theory written by Vanessa E. Munro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a distinct scholarly contribution to law, feminist legal theory is now well over three decades old. Those three decades have seen consolidation and renewal of its central concerns as well as remarkable growth, dynamism and change. This Companion celebrates the strength of feminist legal thought, which is manifested in this dynamic combination of stability and change, as well as in the diversity of perspectives and methodologies, and the extensive range of subject-matters, which are now included within its ambit. Bringing together contributors from across a range of jurisdictions and legal traditions, the book provides a concise but critical review of existing theory in relation to the core issues or concepts that have animated, and continue to animate, feminism. It provides an authoritative and scholarly review of contemporary feminist legal thought, and seeks to contribute to the ongoing development of some of its new approaches, perspectives, and subject-matters. The Companion is divided into three parts, dealing with 'Theory', 'Concepts' and 'Issues'. The first part addresses theoretical questions which are of significance to law, but which also connect to feminist theory at the broadest and most interdisciplinary level. The second part also draws on general feminist theory, but with a more specific focus on debates about equality and difference, race, culture, religion, and sexuality. The 'Issues' section considers in detail more specific areas of substantive legal controversy.
