Description

Anyone going through separation and divorce can agree that it’s an emotional and financial rollercoaster. There is so much to understand, prepare, read, gather, and act on that it’s an incredibly draining process. Uncoupling: The Ugly Truth about Divorce and Finances is here to help. This book has everything from the basics to the nitty-gritty when it comes to separation and divorce, with an emphasis, of course, on finances.

Along with the stories of people going through their own separations and divorces are the voices of experts covering everything from the specifics of Canada’s Divorce Act and parenting agreements to the tax implications of divorce and financial post-divorce to-dos. Divorce rates in Canada are on the rise and Uncoupling will provide much-needed information for those on this difficult journey.
