6 Tips for Managing Your Investments Through Divorce

It is no secret that financial problems in a marriage can be a significant factor in a couple's decision to get a divorce. In fact, a recent report found that 13% of divorced student loan borrowers blamed their student loan debt for the dissolution of their marriages.
