Divorce can negatively impact your credit because it often involves splitting shared assets and debts between two parties, which may result in late or missed payments being reported to credit bureaus. While divorce itself does not directly damage credit, the financial processes involved in legally ending a marriage relationship sometimes disrupt credit histories until accounts are adjusted.

I understand why bankruptcy, forclosure, not paying you bills, etc can ruin it..
