Is consolidating debt a good first step in getting a divorce?

Answer 1

Loan consolidation is a purely financial act. It has little, if anythin to do with divorce other than to put all of your debts into one payment package. A good first step in a divorce is trying to work out the differences in your marriage. Get a third aprty, a counselor or therapist to act as an intermediary. Divorce can be very expensive, but it is also a very emotional act. You should try to find some common ground with your spouse. Maybe it can work.
