You now look forward to your “golden years,” winding down and enjoying those put-off hobbies and long-fantasized trips. The kids are gone, but the flames in your relationship have flickered out, and you can’t imagine facing the next 30 years with a partner with whom you share nothing. You know you need to do something about it, but you don’t know where to start because, in most cases, he has been handling the money part of your relationship.

Reviews for Get Off Your Assets: A Woman's Guide to Avoid Getting Screwed in Your Gray Divorce

Neale describes why gray divorce for women is different. She shares real stories of divorce that illuminate transition, trauma, anticipation, anxiety, and excitement; she successfully steers the reader with fun headings toward self-reflection, resources and action steps. All the while, Neale underscores the importance of being prepared and building the ""right"" professional team. Readers, take comfort in knowing you are not alone, and you will see the light at the end of the tunnel! --Lili Vasileff, CFP, MAFF, CDFA, author of Money & Divorce: The Essential Roadmap to Mastering Financial Decisions; president of the national Association of Divorce Financial Planners
