Divorce

A survey published by the U. S. Census Bureau in 2001 reported that among recently divorced women, one in every four was living below the poverty line — compared to one in every twenty men. Clearly, divorce can be financially devastating, particularly for women.

During the thirty years she was married, Linda raised the kids, did volunteer work and kept the household running. Her husband handled the finances. When she and her husband divorced, she agreed to go to mediation and to let a neutral lawyer help them hammer out a financial agreement. Her husband drew up a plan that Linda said "looked fair on paper." But after a couple of meetings, she realized she had no clue whether she was getting a fair share of the assets.
