Heard Will Donate $7 Million Dollar Settlement to Charity
 
Even celebrities cannot escape the downfall of divorce.  Furthermore, most recently, Amber Heard and Johnny Depp have settled their divorce for more than $7 million.  Sadly, the large settlement of the divorce comes after Heard accused Depp of domestic violence allegations which in turn won her the more favorable settlement amount. 

Following the settlement news of the former couple’s divorce, they released the following joint statement:
“Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love,” Heard and Depp stated. 
 Heard is now dedicating both the money and herself to raising awareness to stop violence against women. 
 
Divorce and Self-Care
 
Going through a divorce is both emotionally painful and financially straining time in a person’s life.  Likewise, the split from a former spouse can leave a lasting impact on each person’s life, and take years to re-set the equilibrium again. 
 
Luckily, there are many resources available to help you if you find yourself in the midst of a divorce.  Some things to keep in mind when you’re going through an impending divorce are:
