Moving Forward: A Divorce Planning Checklist

Going through a divorce can feel overwhelming, but having a clear plan can make the journey more manageable. Our Divorce Planning Checklist is designed to guide individuals through the major financial, legal, and emotional decisions required when separating from a spouse. Whether you're in the early stages of divorce or trying to rebuild your life after, this tool offers structure and clarity.

The checklist covers essential areas including asset division, retirement account considerations, insurance adjustments, and updates to estate plans. It also prompts you to think about housing, budgeting as a single individual, and evaluating support needs for children or dependents. Importantly, it reminds you to revisit your healthcare coverage and update legal documents like powers of attorney and beneficiaries.

But this guide goes beyond numbers. It acknowledges the emotional transition that comes with divorce. Thoughtful prompts throughout the checklist encourage self-reflection and planning for mental health support or counseling as needed.

Our goal is to help you move forward—practically and emotionally. With bold visuals in calming blues, teals, and empowering golds, the design of this guide reflects both professionalism and hope. It’s not just about closing a chapter; it’s about beginning a new one—stronger, wiser, and better prepared.

Use this resource as a steady companion while you rebuild. With each item you check off, you're not just organizing paperwork—you’re taking a powerful step forward.
