When you're navigating the emotional upset of a relationship break-up, it can be hard to find the headspace to deal with money too.
But after a survey revealed half a million people are plunged into financial trouble every year following a break-up, it seems tackling money should be top of everyone's priorities during this time.
The survey by credit report provider Noddle found women were more likely to be owed money, left to pay rent or a mortgage alone, or see their credit score suffer. Meanwhile men faced bleaker longterm prospects after a break-up having less support from friends and family, and struggling to recover financially.
In light of these findings, we asked finance and relationship experts about the best ways for couples to navigate money after a break-up.
