Money Talks Podcast: Breaking down the cost of getting a divorce

It's time to split - but what should a couple bear in mind when navigating the financial costs of getting a divorce?

While getting a divorce is not something many people plan for when they walk down the aisle, navigating the financial costs when it’s time to split can be difficult. What financial decisions should a couple agree on when they’ve reached the end of their marriage journey? Ivan Cheong, a family law specialist and equity partner with Withers Worldwide, gives his advice on this episode. 
If you're able to sit down ... reach an agreement in terms of the financials and what (you) both feel is going to be fair for (each party), it's going to save both a lot of time, a lot of money.
Divorce proceedings can be divided into two stages: Dissolution of the marriage, where the Court will establish that the marriage has indeed broken down, and ancillary matters, which have to do with the division of matrimonial assets, and matters concerning the children.
