In the last post we started to talk about how divorce can put many, many things on our plates. There are, of course, the emotional ramifications of a marriage ending. But there are also the more “administrative” concerns when a marriage ends. When you share money and property with someone there is of course the process that must be gone through in order to separate ownership.

In the last post I began to talk about my divorce and how the ending of my marriage brought with it things that I had never considered. Sure we had to deal with the ownership of our home, vehicles, and bank accounts, but I also had to consider those insurance policies that I had essentially taken for granted. We both had life insurance in place so the only thing I had to change on my life insurance policy was the beneficiary. But I did not have disability insurance – something that my ex-husband had in place so that if he was hurt or ill and unable to return to work we would be financially protected.

But now that I am on my own I had to consider disability insurance for myself. Who would protect me or my lifestyle if I suddenly found myself injured in an accident or ill for a long period of time? I needed to step up to the plate and begin exploring disability insurance plans so that I could have peace of mind that I would be protected – and my finances would be protected – no matter what.

Disability insurance turned out to be easier to find than I thought. I worked with a solid professional who was able to walk me through the many disability insurance plans to find something that worked for my situation, so that I could begin the process of getting back on my feet.
