Divorced in Retirement? 20 Ways to Maintain Your Financial Independence

12. Hire Professionals

If your financial situation is simple and straightforward, you might be able to get a handle on things yourself after some analysis, calculation, and budgeting. But for more complex cases — or for people who just don’t want to exert the time and effort into managing their own affairs — a team of professionals might make more sense.

In addition to financial advisors, who can handle your investments and retirement accounts, you can hire CPAs for your accounting and tax affairs and attorneys for more advanced issues such as estate planning. Some professionals even work specifically with divorced women, and you might want to seek them out if this applies to you.
