A divorce can be devastating both emotionally and financially. According to research from Fidelity Investments, less than a third of divorcees have a divorce planning strategy in place. It can be even more difficult if you’ve never taken an active role in managing your family’s finances and investments.

Fortunately, expert divorce planning financial advice is here for you. A fee-only fiduciary financial advisor on the Wealthramp network can help you figure out what you’re entitled to — and responsible for — financially.

Here are just a few examples of divorce money matters many spouses don’t realize:

• You may be entitled to a portion of contributions both you and your ex-spouse made to your 401(k) plans and IRAs during your marriage.
• If you and your ex-spouse are over age 62, you may be entitled to some of your ex’s monthly Social Security income if your marriage lasted more than 10 years, and you’ve been divorced for at least two years.
• Your ex-spouse cannot legally remove you as a primary beneficiary for their retirement accounts or insurance policies unless you formally consent to being removed.
