Tag: What to do before filing for divorce

For anyone beginning the divorce process, I would suggest that they have begun to gather up and take inventory of all of their financial assets. And assets, when we think about that, we want to think about our house, retirement plans, savings accounts, pension. We want to think about other banking accounts. Could be cryptocurrency as well. We want to think about vehicles. We also want to think about the debts that people may have that can be unsecured debt, such as credit cards or personal loans. Also mortgages, home equity lines of credit. We want to think about auto loans, all of those sorts of things. We want to essentially make a list and take an inventory of what you know of or what you have. Folks often say, well, there might be things I don’t know about, and that’s fine. Tell me what you can or what you think might be out there that you don’t know about, and any little nuggets of information that you might have about where we can look for those types of things. You also want to proceed as if, text messages, emails, other things that you send could potentially be read out loud in court one day or used as an exhibit. You want to conduct yourself with your spouse or soon-to-be ex-spouse, as in a business like manner. Don’t speak to them in a way that you wouldn’t speak to a business colleague, or better yet, a boss. You want to be professional, courteous, but also direct.
