When you marry, that act has many legal repercussions
involving how your finances are treated and your children are treated in the
eyes of the law. Therefore, it makes sense that when you are dismantling this
legal union that you will be asked to provide a great deal of information about
both finances and your children if you have them. You will be asked to provide information about your income.
Information that you will need will be broken down on paystubs and W-2s that
will be helpful in providing the court with this information. You might also
need to provide bank statements or credit card statements. Healthcare
information for vision, dental and general healthcare may need to be provided.
You will need information on retirement accounts. Assets that you have will
need documentation. For most people this at least includes a house and a car or
two, and the loans and mortgages underlying those. Even if there is no loan on
a car or a house, values will need to be provided. Depending on what financial
information you need, you might want advice on specific forms or information
that would be helpful in proving the value of assets. You might also want
advice about income. Just because you make a certain amount of money does not
necessarily mean that the opposing party cannot impute income to you above and
beyond your current wages for the purposes of maintenance and child support. If you have children, you will be asked for information on
how you will provide for their care. Some of this is intertwined with the above
financial information, such as income being tied to child support. You might be
asked about day care providers and costs, even travel out of town for work. You
will also be asked to create a picture of how you imagine sharing time with
your children with your soon-to-be ex-spouse. You may be asked about their
doctors, dentists, therapists and counselors. Bottom line: You will be asked for a great deal of
information pertaining to your finances and your children. Organizing these and
having access to this information will help you start the process or respond if
your spouse initiates the dissolution. This list is just the tip of the iceberg
in a contested case. |
