Bring financial, property, and personal documents that provide a complete picture of your marital assets and obligations.
A successful divorce mediation requires thorough documentation of your financial and legal situation. Being well-prepared helps ensure a productive session and fair outcomes for both parties.
- Financial Documents: Recent tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, credit card statements, and investment account records
- Property Records: House deeds, mortgage statements, vehicle ownership papers, and recent property assessments
- Personal Financial Obligations: Insurance policies, retirement accounts, pension statements, and documentation of any debts
- Asset Inventory: Comprehensive list of shared assets, including valuable items like jewellery, artwork, or collectibles
- Expense Records: Monthly budget, household bills, and childcare costs if applicable
Consider organizing these documents chronologically and making copies for all parties involved in the mediation process.
