It’s amazing how money seems to “disappear” after filing for divorce and it’s best if you know exactly how much is in your accounts. I work with my clients to help gather the necessary documents so we can trace where the money and other assets are located. 2 Make a budget. Divorce can result in a lot of financial stress. To prepare for the added expenses, we will work with you to develop a budget and work with a financial expert to determine just how much monthly income you’ll need. 3 Know your priorities. Decide ahead of time what you really want and what you really need. When negotiating, it’s important that you and your lawyer have decided in advance where you can flex. 4 Make a list of questions for your attorney. Maximize the time you have with your attorney by preparing questions before your meeting. Questions can range from how long will my divorce take to what will happen to my kids. It’s up to you.
