Divorce can be one of life's most challenging transitions, bringing not only emotional upheaval but also significant financial considerations.
Since most don’t prepare for divorce when going into marriage, you might not know where to begin in regard to your financial assets. TIAA and Fidelity Investments, U-M’s longtime partners in administering its Retirement Savings Plans, have numerous resources to help with both the financial and personal aspects of ending a marriage.
