Parties going through a divorce often have many decisions they need to make. Often those decisions will affect their financial future. Many financially dependent spouses are not prepared to understand their future financial needs. As a family law attorney we utilize many resources such as financial investors, forensic accountants and tax experts to help the financially dependent spouse navigate the divorce process.

While a financially dependent spouse is going through a divorce we will ask them what their goals will be over the next five to ten years. Such goals may include employment, retirement, college expenses, retaining or selling the marital house and alimony. All of these goals are discussed with the client before resolving their case so that the client understands the expectations and documents necessary for them to obtain their goals. Identifying income sources often involves several steps.
