Most divorce proceedings require 6-12 months of bank statements, with exact requirements varying by jurisdiction and case complexity.

During divorce proceedings, financial transparency is essential for fair asset division. Bank statements serve as crucial documentation to establish:

  • Regular income and spending patterns
  • Joint and individual account activities
  • Asset ownership and financial obligations
  • Potential hidden assets or suspicious transactions

While six months of statements is typically the minimum requirement, courts may request up to twelve months of records if there are concerns about financial misconduct or complex asset situations. Your lawyer may recommend providing additional documentation to strengthen your case.
