If you are a stay-at-home mom discussing the possibility of divorce with your spouse, you may be worried and fearful of your future. While some mothers believe that they will be able to maintain their current lifestyle after the divorce, this is not often the case. By discussing your current and future finances with a Jacksonville family law attorney, you can protect yourself and your child while securing your future after marriage.
In order to get an honest picture of your life after divorce, you must be willing to reveal all of your finances with your attorney. This includes not just shared assets and your husband's income, but any assets that you possess and bank accounts. All of this information will be requested by your husband's attorney as well.
In addition to assets, you should be more interested in what bills you will be responsible for paying after the divorce. This will help you decide how much to ask for during the divorce for alimony.
