Be Your Own Private Investigator
Contents
One way to save yourself some money is to be your own PI. A PI is a private investigator. You need to know what the assets are, what the liabilities are, where your spouse goes at night, what they may own, and other things. You will be surprised what you will recover from your investigation. So how do you do an investigation? First, you need to look at the planners or notes that they leave around or on their desk. If you do not live in the house anymore, you may not have a legal right to anything in the house, if it isn’t in your name.
This way you may not be able to legally obtain notes from the desk. However, you have the right to go through the trash once it is placed to be picked up. There’s a lot that you can find out in the trash, especially when it comes to the old bills, and it will give you some questions that you may need to look further into to answer. Not all answers are given right away. You may end up having to track their moves and what they do so that you can gain strength in the case.
Fill out the Court Financial Forms
This is helpful when you think that your ex may end up taking it all. It will help you organize your information so that you can foresee the future. You will begin to look forward to the future when you see what your new life will be like. It will also tell you if you can enjoy the same lifestyle after the divorce. Together, you may be able to live a good life, but you may find that your lifestyle is too much for one person to handle the burden. You may need to prioritize your life.
Get a Good and Solid Value of Your House
The real estate market can be unstable. You need to know the value of your home by giving it a title; such as beach house, family home, investment property, and so on. Then you should base your value on the most recent appraisal. To come to an even closer value you will need to seek the opinion of a realtor and an appraiser. Sometimes the realtor will come with an appraiser. Sometimes you don’t have to pay a fee if you may end up selling your house.
Get a Value of any Family Business
Another thing that you will need to do is obtain the value of any family business. You will want to make sure that you know what you are worth or what your husband is worth so you can either obtain more money in the divorce or learn how to protect your assets. The business name has a lot of value and may be connected to a patent or intellectual property. Your business may be valued high just for the fact that it has a value of interest held by many people.
Calculate Child Support Finances
You should also try to calculate child support too. Find out your laws and do the math. The law takes in consideration how much time their spend with one parent and the expenses of the child, as well as, your income.
All of these suggestions will help you with your divorce expenses.
