What Does Divorce Planning Involve?
The type of divorce planning that needs to be done varies from situation to situation. What doesn't change is the importance of doing it or the effect it can have on major issues such as child custody, support or marital property division. In your case, our attorney will start by explaining what your rights are and helping you to identify and set goals for the process. We will assist with financial planning, custody strategies and with the various other issues that divorces present.
In general, however, it is a good idea to gather financial documents such as tax returns, pay stubs, bank records, business records, loan statements, credit card statements and investment account statements — if only for asset protection purposes. Creating a list of the real estate and other property you own is also appropriate, as is reviewing any estate planning documents you have and making plans to revise them.
Because divorce can be such an emotionally charged life event to go through, it is very easy for people to lose sight of what's really most important to them and to make poor decisions (hiding assets, moving out of the house, etc.) that negatively impact their case. Divorce planning can help people avoid these common mistakes. Similarly, without proper legal advice many clients find themselves facing unexpected domestic violences charges and personal protection orders. Both of which can result in a conviction record and incarceration.
