The end of a marriage can bring serious changes for both Colorado spouses, especially regarding their finances and plans for the future. Money is one of the most complex and contentious issues to address in a divorce, and it's prudent to consider long-term implications when making any important decisions. Protecting financial interests is an important concern during and after a divorce.

During the divorce process, it is helpful to keep careful notes of all conversations related to the finances. It will also help to track spending and organize all documents related to accounts, savings and finances. This will make it easier to negotiate a fair divorce settlement and know if the other party is attempting to hide assets. Before and during divorce is the time to change passwords on online accounts, close joint credit cards and gather tax returns.

Drunk drivers are the cause of around 29 deaths per day in this country. Because driving drunk is a decision that a person has to make purposefully, each of those deaths was preventable. On top of those deaths, there are countless other victims who suffer injuries in crashes caused by impaired drivers.

One thing that many people don't realize is that not all impaired driving crashes are the result of a driver who's intoxicated due to alcohol. Some drivers are impaired by illegal substances, over-the-counter medications or prescription drugs.

When people get married, the goal is generally to stay together. They hope that they will remain in a relationship for the rest of their lives. Even through tough times, many people do make that happen.

In some cases, the reality is that divorce is a better option than staying married. Whether it's because you've grown apart or because you have different opinions about too many things, it's important that you have the opportunity to separate gracefully and move on with your lives.

Car accidents can happen for a variety of reasons. Because of this, all drivers in Colorado and across the country must work to prevent causing a car crash, including abstaining from drugs and alcohol before driving. Unfortunately, drunk driving can come with serious consequences, even though it is completely preventable.
