BEFORE · DURING · AFTER DIVORCE
Financial confidence when life is changing
Divorce can make money decisions feel overwhelming. These books offer a calm place to begin: collect the facts, understand the household picture, identify immediate needs, and prepare informed questions for the qualified professionals supporting you.
A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR WOMEN
How Women Can Organize Their Finances Before and During Divorce
Divorce can feel frightening when the household finances are unfamiliar. A clear financial picture does not settle every legal question, but it can help a woman prepare, ask informed questions, and participate more confidently in decisions affecting her future.
Gather records safely
Collect recent bank and investment statements, tax returns, pay information, property records, mortgage and loan statements, credit-card balances, insurance policies, and retirement-account statements. Keep copies in a safe place and preserve the dates shown on each record.
List assets and debts
Create one organized list of what is owned and what is owed. Record the name on each account, the approximate current value or balance, and where the supporting statement can be found. Do not guess when a reliable document is available.
Understand monthly cash flow
Write down all sources of income and regular household expenses. Then estimate the expenses of living separately, including housing, utilities, food, transportation, health care, insurance, and child-related costs.
Prepare questions
Use the organized information to identify what is understood and what still needs explanation. Bring focused questions to an attorney, tax professional, or appropriately qualified financial professional when individualized advice is needed.
BOOK 2: PRIVATE, SELF-DIRECTED TOOLS
Editable Excel worksheets do the basic calculations
Book 2 includes links to editable Excel worksheets. A reader can download or make a personal copy, enter her own information, and receive automatic calculations for assets, debts, income, expenses, insurance needs, retirement information, and other planning topics.
Readers do not need to pay someone for every basic calculation. Their personal copy is for their own use; they should never enter private information into a shared master workbook.
What should a woman do first when preparing financially for divorce?
Begin with facts: gather records, list assets and liabilities, review income and expenses, and prepare questions. Avoid making major financial or legal decisions based only on a worksheet. The Still Me books provide education and organization—not individualized legal, tax, investment, insurance, or financial advice.

START WITH A QUESTION
Financial planning during divorce
How can a woman prepare financially for divorce?
Start by safely gathering records for income, assets, debts, insurance, retirement accounts, taxes, and regular household expenses. Calculate your current position, prepare a realistic individual budget, and bring organized questions to qualified legal and financial professionals.
How do I calculate my net worth during divorce?
List the current value of everything owned, then subtract every outstanding liability. Keep supporting records and valuation dates. Property classification and division depend on the facts and applicable law, so seek qualified legal guidance.
Is there a divorce workbook with editable Excel calculators?
Yes. Book 2 in the Still Me series includes links to editable Excel worksheets. Readers can make a personal copy, enter their own information, and receive automatic calculations for assets, debts, income, expenses, and other financial-planning topics.
Can another reader see the information entered in the worksheets?
Each reader should download or make a private personal copy before entering information. Other readers do not see that personal copy. Never enter confidential information into a shared master workbook.
What is the Still Me book series about?
The series combines emotional support with practical preparation. It helps women organize important information, understand their financial circumstances, prepare questions for qualified professionals, and rebuild confidence before, during, and after divorce.
Can these books replace a lawyer or financial adviser?
No. They provide general financial education and organizational tools. They do not provide individualized legal, tax, insurance, investment, or financial advice.
