What Issues Should I Consider During My Divorce?

Divorce proceedings tend to focus heavily on the legal division of assets, but the financial planning side, what life actually looks like on the other side, deserves just as much attention and often gets less.
Beneficiary designations and insurance coverage in particular are easy to forget in the middle of a divorce, even though they can undo the intent of a settlement if left unchanged.
