Stay At Home Moms and Divorce
Posted on Nov 29, 2011 2:10pm PST
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.
