September is the month when more people begin to inquire about divorce.
This morning on the MIX Morning Show, Aaron Tompkins and Mariam Serkal talk with Dr Julie Gowthorpe, RSW about wanting to separate but being stuck financially. Here are some ideas to help.

There is also something called the Back-to-School Effect Parents wait until after the summer to initiate divorce proceedings, so that kids are busy with their routine.
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to find affordable housing when you go from two incomes to one and are saddled with the costs of divorce. A single-parent townhouse might run upwards of $3,000 a month to rent.
