Divorce, Dollars & Debt: Understanding Debts and Credit:

Although a particular marriage may be coming to an end as a result of divorce, unfortunately, the same cannot be said for any and all debts and/or credit obligations accumulated during that marriage. While there are many uncertainties connected with the entire divorce process, one element can be counted on to remain constant - the monthly bills. Therefore, from the moment the decision to separate is made, it is very important to understand the effects this will have on your debts and credit rating.

A person's credit history is very important as it is a major means by which a particular creditor can judge whether or not you are a good risk for a loan or credit line. Your history reflects what you have done with previous loans/credit lines and your willingness to repay borrowed monies. This factor and your current income are what determine what is known as your "credit worthiness". It is your credit worthiness that will ultimately decide whether or not you will be granted the loan or line of credit you apply for.
