If you're thinking about remarrying, you may be wondering what you need to do to make it special and long-lasting this time around. The four considerations below should help you find out how ready you are to remarry, so have a look at them before you say "I do" again.
It's good for financial transparency to be present in all relationships, but this should be done with caution, especially with second marriages. Evaluate any debt each of you may have, and work towards your finances together. If you can, however, family law suggests that you should keep your debts and credit cards separate unless you expressly know and accept each other's financial state and arrangements.
When children are involved, divorce and remarrying both become a bit more complicated. It's important to work out from the onset how you will take care of the children financially while tending to the new relationship. You should also know how you will distribute assets to everyone in the circle, and for this, you can get help from a family law attorney.
When you get into a new relationship, the logistics of who will move in with the other matter a lot. These should be favorable to everyone, especially any children in the picture because they need stability in all cases. Also, consider where you and your spouse work as well as where the children go to school.
This topic is no longer as taboo as it used to be, probably because many people have seen the repercussions that come with failure to make these agreements. Your children's inheritance and your income should be protected, so draft an agreement to safeguard them. You will need the assistance of a family attorney to make sure you don't leave anything to chance.
Just 23% of single adults who have been previously married say they're open to remarrying, 30% aren't sure, and 45% don't want to remarry. Work with a family law attorney to find out the implications of agreements and more before signing any documents. If you feel like you're ready for all of this and you have what it takes to make it work, then, by all means, let love prevail!
