Teresa JW Bailey of Waddell & Associates: 5 Things You Need To Know To Survive And Thrive After A Divorce

Housing comes first. Whether it’s the navigation of cohabitation or the decision of who will keep the house and whether or not the mortgage needs to be refinanced, housing must come first. You and your partner may have agreed to live together for the time being, but it’s important to start putting together a long-term plan for the future. Many times, I find that one party will have an emotional attachment to a home and will fight to keep it even if they cannot afford the payment and maintenance.

As part of our series about the “5 Things You Need To Know To Survive And Thrive After A Divorce Or Breakup”, I had the pleasure of interviewing Teresa JW Bailey. She is a Wealth Strategist for Waddell & Associates, an SEC-registered investment advisory firm, where she serves as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) professional and a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst® practitioner.
