Deciding on Divorce

San Bernardino Divorce Attorney

Making the decision to file for divorce can be very overwhelming and emotionally difficult. You may have tried counseling, therapy or speaking to your religious advisor all in the name of saving your marriage and working things out - not only for yourself, but for any children that may be involved. Sometimes, however, a marriage is simply not meant to last forever, and it has come time to file for divorce.

In addition to the emotional toll that a divorce can take on both you and your children, it can also drastically affect your financial situation. For this reason, if spousal support is requested or if there are disputes concerning the division of property, it is extremely important that you keep original or duplicate copies of financial records pertaining to the following:

  • Checking and Savings Accounts
  • Certificates of Deposit
  • Security Boxes
  • IRAs
  • Mortgages
  • Deeds
  • Stock Brokerage Accounts
  • Insurance Policies
  • Car Documentation
  • Loan Applications
  • Credit Card Agreements
  • Pensions
  • Retirement Accounts
  • Mutual Funds
  • Wills
  • Real Estate Investments
  • Tax Returns (5 years)
  • Business Documents

In addition to keeping records of all financial documents, before you make the decision to divorce, you should keep an accurate record of your personal expenses, establish a credit card in your name and save some money. It would also be in your best interest to contact an experienced San Bernardino divorce attorney who can advise you of any other steps you should take before coming to a final decision.
