Fiction: "After the Judgment has been filed, there is nothing else that I need to do."
Fact: You need to change your beneficiaries and the title to any assets which were awarded to you in the Judgment.
Changing Your Beneficiaries
One of the most important things you can do after a divorce is to change your beneficiaries. Even if you re-marry, your former spouse will remain your beneficiary until you make the change.
In one case, an individual remarried but did not change his beneficiary. Even though he had a new wife, his former spouse received approximately 95 percent of his estate.
