If you are in the process of planning for a Scottsdale divorce, here are just some of the important things you may want to be aware of:

From shared bank accounts and retirement plans to the division of marital property, the plans you make about your finances before divorce can help you prepare for the future.
  • Preparing other documents – In addition to preparing your finances, preparing other documents as you are planning for a Scottsdale divorce can also be helpful.

  • Preparing children and/or yourself – While there can be some logistical things you can start preparing for a divorce in Scottsdale, you may also want to consider getting yourself (and your children, if you have any) mentally prepared for the upcoming process.
