How You Can Protect Your Assets With Divorce Planning

As skilled divorce attorneys, we provide comprehensive representation to people who are just thinking about divorce as well as those involved in divorce proceedings. Many clients come to our law firm with this question: I am thinking about a divorce. What can I do to protect myself, particularly my assets?

We often advise clients to gather as much financial information as possible and secure it in some way. This can be achieved by printing statements and copying documents. Statements and documents include tax returns, checking account statements, savings account statements, 401(k) statements and other relevant financial accounts. It is possible that these statements and documents can "disappear" upon filing divorce. It is also possible that you will no longer have access to the information. If money is taken from an account, it is then easier to show that it was there at one point, and a judge can order that the money be put back into the account.

We also often advise clients to take pictures or video of valuable items in the home. For example, if you have a valuable collection, expensive family heirlooms or artwork, take pictures of it or videotape it. These items can also "disappear" once the divorce has been filed.

In many ways, divorce planning involves thinking one step ahead of what could happen. With divorce planning, you can feel more confident going into the divorce and engaging in complex property division. If you have any questions, please talk to us.
