Frequently Asked Questions
We know family law can feel overwhelming—and sometimes, just getting clear answers makes all the difference. Below you’ll find thoughtful responses to the questions we hear most often, designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you move forward.
What financial information should I gather before separating?
Getting organized before you separate puts you in a much stronger position, and it's one of the most practical things you can do for yourself right now. Start collecting:
- Recent bank and credit card statements
- Tax returns from the last two to three years
- Pay stubs or other proof of income
- Retirement and investment account statements
- Mortgage documents and property records
- Loan documents, including auto, personal, and student loans
- Insurance policies
If you have access to anything your spouse manages, like a business account or a retirement plan you're not on, copies of those documents help too. You don't need to have everything figured out before you talk to an attorney, but the more information you bring to that first consultation, the clearer your options become from day one.
