Credit Reviews and Recommendations

DuPage County, IL Certified Divorce Financial Analysts

There are several ways that your divorce could negatively affect your credit. Most commonly, the economic impact of losing your spouse's income could make it difficult for you to stay current on payments for credit cards and loans and to pay them off in full. Your credit accounts could also be jointly held, which means that both you and your spouse are responsible for paying them. Miscommunication or hostility during your divorce could mean that nobody is actually making the payments. Finally, your credit could continue to suffer after your divorce if your ex-spouse refuses to make court-ordered payments on your remaining joint accounts.

At The Divorce Financial Group, LLC, we understand that your credit rating is determined by a number of factors. Two of the most important variables are your level of debt and your payment history, both of which could be affected by the circumstances of your divorce. Our experienced Certified Divorce Financial Analyst(CDFA™) will work with you in reviewing your credit situation and creating a strategy for managing your credit as your divorce progresses.
