Preparing Financial Statements for Your Divorce
Before you file for divorce, we urge you to obtain important financial documents. Income statements, income tax returns, bank account statements and a list of marital assets are all necessary documents for divorce. The reason to have these before you file is to help us anticipate any issues with your divorce. Understanding the full extent of your marital property and your spouse's income can help us predict issues related to child support, spousal maintenance and alimony.
Securing the availability of financial documents before filing for divorce can also assist your divorce lawyer in locating hidden assets. Your spouse may intentionally attempt to hide real estate, money or other property to prevent the court's division of the asset during divorce. When we have the full picture of your property and assets, we are able to better argue on your behalf for the division of all property and assets.
Anticipating Child Custody Issues
Child custody issues also benefit from preparation and planning prior to filing for divorce. When facing a child custody dispute, your attorney will want to know about the following:
- School preference
- Child's grades
- Social issues
- Medical or mental disorders
Your divorce attorney at Arnold Law Firm, LLC will want to know a list of witnesses that may be useful during a child custody dispute. Witnesses include counselors, teachers, doctors, other parents and family members.
If necessary, we may also use experts during your divorce proceedings. Experts can provide valuable information to the judge or jury about your finances or relationship with your children. Doctors may also be used if a mental disorder, substance abuse or other health issue is at issue during divorce.
