    i want a divorce, i think it would be best for both of us to our separate ways. the thing is i can’t afford it. we are both 53. we don’t have any intimacy or communication. it is time to go on. i don’t know what to do.

    Hi Ralph,

    You are not alone and I’m sorry to hear about your situation. There may be some low cost temporary fixes such as staying with friends or relatives, housesitting, going away alone or together.

    I’m sharing an article with you that I just wrote for my Psychology Today column. I hope you find it useful.

    After 29 years I am tired of the emotional games. I need some facts on how I will survive financially, etc. Do I confer with a lawyer at this point? I work at a job (with little pay) I love because I want to, not because I have to and I don’t want to have to give it up for a job to support myself.

    Hi Kris,

    Depending on where you live, there may be what’s called a Financial Counselor. This is a professional who can help you understand your finances and create a workable budget for your lifestyle and help you plan for a divorce in the event that you do divorce.

    Nolo Press also puts out a book called, Divorce and Money, that you may find helpful. Many libraries carry the Nolo Press books.

    Additionally, many areas have a low fee legal service so you may want to contact your local superior court to find out what is available to you.
