Preparing for Divorce Financially
Making financial preparations for divorce could save you significant money and time.
In most families, the marital estate is relatively uncomplicated.
There may be a mortgage on a house; bank accounts; retirement accounts; a couple vehicles; and some credit card debt.
You may avoid expensive formal legal discovery by compiling financial statements for all accounts to provide to your attorney.
In many cases, you will need to provide financial statements from the time you were married as well as the most recent statements related to your assets and debts.
Your attorney will then value the marital estate and help formulate a proposal for dividing it with your spouse according to your goals and needs.
