When a student's drive to excel crosses the line into a need to be perfect, it can have serious consequences for the student's mental health and self-esteem. Perfectionist children believe that their worth depends on A-pluses and 100-percents, and anything shy of these scores leaves them feeling like failures. Because complete perfection is impossible, these students often believe that they cannot succeed at anything -- even though they may be doing consistently excellent work. Alternatively, they may spend so much time trying to eliminate mistakes that they seldom complete their projects. Help them adjust their mindset, not just their behavior.

Mortgage lenders weigh both issues when deciding whether to approve you for a mortgage.

The incomes of both spouses are usually necessary to meet the payments and your divorce decree has no legal power over your mortgage company. Your lender doesn’t care that you’ve parted ways.

In family law, abandonment occurs when a spouse permanently removes himself from the marriage without the consent of the other and without an excuse.

To apply the deduction, the ex-spouse must meet the criteria set by federal law and follow the relevant IRS procedures.
