Preparing for Your Divorce

Let’s face it – divorce is not easy. It’s emotionally stressful, and it involves the division of assets and debts. A lot of us hate paperwork and in a divorce, that’s half the battle.

If you’re on the brink of divorce, we have good news for you. The more prepared you are, the easier the process will be. As someone headed towards divorce, it’s important that you immediately become educated on the following matters under Pennsylvania law:

Child custody
Child support
Childcare expenses
Asset division
Debt division
Spousal support
Retirement accounts
Health insurance
College expenses
Life insurance
Tax effects of divorce
Uninsured medical expenses

If you’re worried about any of the above issues, please understand that knowledge is power. The more you understand about your rights and responsibilities, the more at ease you’ll be during the divorce process and the less you’ll wonder about the outcome.

Time to Get Organized

What’s the easiest way to keep your divorce simple and efficient? For starters, be organized and second, work with your spouse to achieve an amicable divorce. To be organized, you’ll need to make copies of all of your financial documents, organize them and provide the information to your attorney. You will need to gather the following types of information for your divorce attorney:

Bank statements
401(k) or IRA statements
Investments
Mortgage documents
