Running a single-person household has a unique set of challenges. Not only is there the emotional pain of separation, a new host of financial problems can arise.
The absence of your partner can feel like someone removed a limb. Your other half is gone, and now the other half of the income is gone too. It’s like taking a 50% pay cut at work – except you have more responsibilities than ever before. The mortgage, groceries, and all the other bills still cost the same, but now you have only half of the money to pay them.

Other health benefits may also become a priority. You may need help managing the financial issues of a divorce settlement or estate distributions.
