Divorce creates a financial impact at any stage of life. Is anyone ever prepared?
Empty nests, longer lifespans, differing attitudes about whether or when to retire—reaching marriage milestones is no guarantee against discord. Divorce among people over 50 continues to rise. Whether a long-term couple is ending a relationship, or a marriage of any length has faltered, the successful navigation of the financial aspects of a split is essential.
Asterion professionals are experienced in determining the value of assets in divorce and can be instrumental in reaching satisfactory resolutions in even the most complicated disputes.
You were sure the investment was sound. What happens when it isn’t?
Even the investments made with the best intentions can go wrong. Consider the case of students, many of them returning veterans, who were enrolled at the closed and bankrupt Corinthian Colleges, Inc. Despite data suggesting that students at non-profit colleges have better success rates, certain for-profit institutions making false claims about graduation and job placement rates have lured students into incurring significant debt. Last week, Corinthian was ordered to pay $531 million in damages to students in the network of colleges it ran before closing last April 30. There may be no assets available to make students whole, making the U.S. Department of Education’s debt relief procedure the only available option since the 2005 amendments to the bankruptcy code preclude discharge of student loans in bankruptcy.
If you need to review your options regarding a failed investment, consider consulting Asterion’s staff of seasoned professionals.
