A divorce wouldn’t be a divorce without all the paperwork. The amount of information required for a divorce varies depending on your situation. In a straightforward, non-contested divorce, most of the information required will be fairly easy to obtain. If the situation is more complicated, a little more documentation could be required. Here are some items that you may need to dig up as you prepare to file for divorce.
Social Security Numbers for you, your spouse, and your children
A list of all assets you acquired during the marriage
A list of assets you owned before the marriage
A list of assets your spouse owned before the marriage
Cause Numbers for any court orders regarding your children
Residence History
Year, Make, Model, VIN of any vehicles you and your spouse own
Value of any vehicles you and your spouse own
Loan amounts for vehicles you and your spouse own
Estimated values for any property you and your spouse own
Outstanding loan amounts for loans taken out during your marriage
Names on the titles for each vehicle owned by you and your spouse
Copy of any premarital agreements
Login Information for any websites related to your finances
Bank Statements
Financial Statements for investment and retirement accounts
Tax Returns
It’s okay if you don’t have access to all of this information in the beginning stages of your divorce. If you’re unable to obtain some of this information because your spouse has control of the information, your attorney can help ensure that the information is turned over to you.
