5 Signs That A Divorce Is Coming

Today we don't have a story. Instead I'm going to list 5 signs that your spouse is about to file for divorce. This is a short list of things that I've seen over the years. Some are things I've told my clients to do before I file and others are things that I have seen done to my clients. Some are good ideas, others are not. You'll have to decide for yourself. This is not a complete list and doesn't even address the possibility of adultery (that's another list).

1. Build a nest egg: If you notice that your spouse has started accumulating funds, specifically cash, you might be headed for a divorce.

2. Cut off access to information: If you notice that your spouse has changed passwords to accounts that you used to have access to, or has "cleaned up" the financial files at the house to the point that you can't find anything, you might be headed for a divorce.

3. Cutting off credit cards: If your spouse is the primary on your credit cards and you are the secondary or authorized signer and those cards are suddenly shut down, you might be headed for a divorce.

4. New credit cards: If you discover that your spouse has a credit card in his or her name that you were not told about you might be headed for a divorce.

5. Super parent: If your spouse has a history of not being the primary care giver of the children and then suddenly starts spending huge amounts of very public time or starts trying to take over duties that were previously yours, like going to the doctor, then you might be headed for a divorce.
