5. In Sickness and in Health.
The cost of health care is, sadly, not equal between men and women. For example, women generally live longer than men, but they also pay more for health care than men. This is something you have to take into account then planning out how to approach joint health care costs.
If you were covered by your spouse’s workplace health coverage you need to stay researching your own. In more painful cases this might mean that one spouse needs to find a workplace that offers health insurance which is easier said than done.
If you think it will be difficult for you to cover health-related costs post-divorce, try to find a compromise with your spouse until you can find your footing.

All this is very informative, and deserves to be remembered. The one really big obstacle is the attorney, and his cooperation and HONESTY. My attorney and my former spouse’s were in cahoots with each other, and the way they handled this was to delay answers from letters that were sent, deny that letters were sent as they didn’t receive it, go on vacation for a few days, delay answering important mail, and anything else that could be a hitch in completing the job quickly and to the best of their ability. I guess these two reprobates learned how to make money, but never protected their client. My attorney, who had questions on the real estate, that went unanswered, called my real estate agent to get an answer, then billed me for the time. He was NO WINNER. This person was recommended by another attorney. Too bad I didn’t check out both attorneys from the beginning. I say that $40,000.00 was a lot of frivolous waste of my hard earned dollars. I only worked forty some years before deciding to divorce this narcissist, who died three years after the divorce was final. Too bad it wasn’t before that. BTW, I never found out the amount of how much the attorney for my former husband fleeced him for.
