Preparing for Divorce in Mississippi: Step 4 - Make copies of all financial records
Step 4 - Make copies of all financial documents
Continuing on with our series of preparing for divorce in Mississippi, the next step is to make copies of all financial documents. If you completed all of Step 3, your job is almost complete.
When you make copies of these documents, you should make two copies of each document—one for you and one for your lawyer. Keep them in a safe place, as discussed in an earlier post. Also, you should keep a list of the all documents in order to stay organized. This helps in determining what you have and what you still need.
In a divorce in Mississippi, here is a list of financial documents you should gather. Your lawyer may have other suggestions.
• Income tax records for the last 3 years;
• Most recent pay stubs showing the income earned to date for both you and your spouse;
• 2 years of statements for all financial accounts (bank accounts, savings accounts, investment accounts, and retirement accounts)
• 2 years of statements for every credit card;
• 2 years of statements for any loans;
• Financial statements, if any, used when applying for a loan;
• Deeds for all real property;
• Real estate tax bills and/or appraisals; and
• Titles to all vehicles (including boats and recreational vehicles).
