This module provides an explanation of the working relationship between documents and your divorce case.

In this module we cover all documents relevant to the determination of child support and spousal support.  Additionally, income documents will help you to identify accounts such as deferred compensation, retirement accounts, and health benefits.

a. Personal Property

Some personal property items might not be of great value, but other items covered in this module are very important and worth spending time getting familiar with, such as classic vehicles, stocks, bank accounts – just to name a few. 

b. Real Property 

Documents related to real property such as family residences, rental properties, vacant lots are covered in this module.  

c. Business Interest

This module provides an overview of documents necessary to a business valuation.

d. Employment Benefits

Most individuals are resistant to dividing retirement related benefits such as 401k accounts and pension benefits.  This module covers information on all employment related benefits.

e. Debt Related Documents

Just like community property assets are divided at the time of divorce, community debt such as credit cards, payday loans, etc. are considered when reaching agreements or Court orders when addressing the final divorce decree. 

f. Insurance Documents

We don’t want you to forget about various insurance related documents, so we’ve covered various insurance related documents, including disability insurance.

It’s easy to miss collecting important documents that don’t necessarily fall under an easy to spot category such as income or real property, so we’ve included a module that covers some really important documents relevant to your case, e.g., such as passports for you and/or your children, prenuptial agreements and other crucial documents.

a. Child Custody

If you’re not sure which documents are most important to a child custody case, you will want to make sure you take this course.  This module covers all relevant documents – which can make all the difference in your custody case – from documents such as phone call logs, detailed visitation logs to inappropriate social media postings.  Get ahead of your child custody case and start collecting and organizing documents today!

b. Child Support

We want you to be PREPARED if child support is an issue that needs addressing during your divorce.  “Being prepared” means having the necessary documents required by the Court for the calculation of child support.  In this module, you will learn about the specific documents relevant to child support.  Identifying, collecting and organizing these documents will help you to have a more favorable outcome of your child support case.

Whether you are the spouse who will be paying spousal support or the spouse who believes he or she is entitled to spousal support, you must prove your position in court.  This module covers documents specific to spousal support.  Besides the obvious “income documents” that are covered in the Income Module, this module provides an overview of the factors that a court will consider in regards to a determination of spousal support, as well as an overview of the documents related to this issue.

It’s not unusual to find one spouse seeking a domestic violence restraining order during divorce proceedings.    Anyone seeking such an order must be prepared to present physical evidence along with his or her written statement about any incidents of domestic violence.  In this module we will cover specific documents related to acts of harassment, threats, or physical harm.

This last module is just as important as all of the others.  By now you should have gathered all of the documentation needed for your divorce case –  whether hard copies, electronic copies, or a combination of both.  The next important step is for you to create an overall organization system that will enable you to manage all of your documents, as well as correspondence, court forms, and other documentation.
