During her time with Doug Jones, Colette discusses all of the factors in which money problems in relationships can come into effect. There are a few in particular which are of the most importance in this discussion.
Power Imbalances Cause Money Problems in Relationships
In any relationship, there is a balance of power. For some relationships, that power can become imbalanced when one party controls finances or financial decisions. One of the major reasons for strife in relationships and divorce is because of a lack of control or power from one part.
While we think money problems in relationships generally pertain to not having enough money, that isn’t necessarily the case. For instance, when one party tries to control the money or the financial decisions, it can cause strife as well.
The Importance of Separation Agreements
What ultimately leads to contention in divorces are disagreements about financial obligations and division of assets. Depending on the separation, tensions can run high and coming to a decision on joint matters can prove seemingly impossible.
A separation agreement puts any agreements into writing. Whether it be about financial matters, division of property, co-parenting obligations, or something else entirely, it is important to have a separation agreement in place.
Colette discusses the separation agreement and the role it can play in these financial battles. The goal of Money Matters with Doug Jones is to help viewers move forward financially. More specifically, those currently going through a separation have that goal in mind as well.
