 TITLE: How to Catch Up On Retirement Savings After Divorce CONTENT: Don't Forget Your Credit\n------------------------\nWhile a divorce won't show up on your credit report or directly affect your credit score, its repercussions can take a toll on your credit. For example, if you end up taking on a larger share of debt, if you miss payments on any bills during a confusing transition period, or if your ex-spouse makes late payments on accounts that still have your name on them, your credit can be negatively affected.\nTo ensure divorce doesn't hurt your credit, consider monitoring your credit carefully until long after the process is completed. You'll be able to see which accounts are still tied to your name, so you can ensure the bills are paid on time, and it can help you figure out if anything hasn't been updated properly. You may also find some room for improvement by watching how your score changes. Divorce can be financially devastating, but by being proactive, you can help get your life and retirement savings back on track. END
