This is just a reminder to the women who were married a long time and didn't keep a separate checking account or credit card for themselves. It's hard when you get out on your own to establish credit for the first time if you've always had accounts through your ex.


I just read an article about making sure your joint debts are paid off and what to look out for. Here's the link: http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/dividing-credit-card-debt-divorce-1282.php


Just another thing to ponder over when you're going through what seems like hell.

I have the opp. problem--all the credit card debt is in my name alone and it's a lot.
