TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - It’s no secret that many marriages, unfortunately, end in divorce.
It brings many life changes, including with a person’s finances. Carl Carlson, founder and CEO of Carlson Financial, visited Eye on NE Kansas to run down some areas to consider.
Among them, Carlson said divorce may bring a shift in Social Security benefits, although an ex-spouse may still receive some benefits.
