Trying to make sense of the money part of your divorce? You’re not alone. Divorce is hard enough emotionally, but when you add in the financial side, it can feel like too much to handle. The paperwork. The questions. The fear of missing something important.
But if you want to get the financial outcome you deserve, this is a challenge you need to face.
You have to know how much money you have. You need to know where it is, what accounts are in your name, and what your spouse might be hiding. You cannot ask for your fair share if you do not know what exists. And you definitely cannot get a good settlement if you are left guessing.
That is why I created the Divorce Financial Checklist.
This is your starting point. It is a simple, powerful tool to help you start gathering the financial information you need to protect yourself. It includes more than 40 types of financial documents that are commonly needed in divorce, and it gives you a clear path forward.
Now, I know what you might be thinking. Forty documents? That sounds like a full-time job.
But here’s the truth. You probably will not need all of them. Many of the items on the list may not apply to your situation. The point is not that you have to gather everything. The point is that you deserve to know what matters, so you can focus on the documents that actually affect your finances and your future. This checklist will help you consider all the possible documents you might need, and then you’ll have a chance to gather the items you need for your specific situation.
The longer you were married, the more complicated things tend to be. If you had shared bank accounts, joint credit cards, retirement savings, or property together, your financial lives are already intertwined. Even if your marriage was shorter, combining money in any way creates a paper trail. If you have children, that adds another layer of financial responsibility that needs to be clearly understood.
The Divorce Financial Checklist gets you started with the financial part of your divorce by giving you a roadmap for the documents that matter.
Many women tell me they had no idea where to begin. They were scared, confused, and worried they would miss something important. This checklist is the answer to that. It puts structure around the chaos and gives you a clear direction forward.
And let me be very honest with you. I have worked on hundreds of divorces. I have seen spouses hide money, drain accounts, and play dirty. I have also seen women who were completely in the dark finally take control, get organized, and walk into settlement talks prepared and powerful.
You cannot afford to wait.
You cannot afford to be unprepared.
And you do not have to figure this out alone.
This checklist is one small step. But it is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your financial future and get the outcome you deserve.
