 TITLE: How to Pay for a Divorce CONTENT: Consider Applying for a Personal Loan\n-------------------------------------\nIf you have good to excellent credit, and you can evaluate ahead of time how much your divorce is going to cost you, a personal loan can be a good option.\nA personal loan can help you beyond just legal fees—you can use it to pay for any expense. While you could put expenses on your credit card, personal loans typically come with lower interest rates if your credit is in good shape.\nMoreover, a personal loan might allow you to borrow a larger sum than your current credit card's limit would offer. A loan is especially helpful when you need a significant amount of money to cover your divorce costs and need several years to pay it off. You'll repay a loan in fixed monthly installments, which makes it easier to budget for.\nIf your credit scores could use some work, a personal loan might not be the best choice. While it could be possible to qualify, a high interest rate could greatly increase the cost of borrowing. It's also important to make sure the loan is within your budget. Missed or late payments will hurt your credit score and financial standing, only adding to the stress of divorce. END
