In a divorce, financial information is not private, and your spouse has a right to this. Get organized and assemble all the financial documents your attorney requests.

A lifetime of work. That’s what your estate represents, and that means that it’s worth the time and expense of ensuring that it will go where you want when the time comes and you can no longer control it. A great estate plan will help do just that.

When a husband and wife divorce, the marital estate must be divided equitably between the two. Hiring a divorce attorney can make this process much less stressful, since he or she can represent your interests in and out of court.

Some trusts make it possible to benefit more than one person – such as children and surviving spouses. A surviving spouse can receive the income produced by a trust during his or her life and a child can receive the principal of that trust after that. An estate planning expert can explain the many different trust options that could apply to your specific situation.

Be realistic in your expectations. There is a lot involved in divorce, and working towards priorities will keep the litigation focused on what is most important to you.

Did you know that men can receive alimony, too? If they have been “stay at home dads” or supported their wife’s career at the expense of their own during the marriage, they may qualify. It is far from the most common situation, but in the future, it may become more and more so.

The precursor to the modern system of estate taxes was introduced with the Revenue Act of 1916. The exemption figure was $50,000 - which would figure out to more than $11 million today - with tax rates that started at 1 percent and maxed out at 10 percent.

Even in a divorce that is not heated or contentious, a divorce attorney plays a valuable role and can offer crucial advice so that you aren't too generous in dividing up assets, only to regret those decisions months or years down the road.

If you have a home and other property, an attorney specializing in estate planning can make sure your loved ones pay little or no inheritance taxes.

Once all issues concerning the divorce settlement have been reached to the satisfaction of both parties, the divorce attorneys document the spouses’ responsibilities and rights following dissolution of the marriage, for instance, concerning agreements made regarding support and custody.

Experts say one of the biggest mistakes people make with estate planning is that they wait too long. You may never have a serious illness or injury until very late in your life; however, if that’s not the case then having a plan in place at a relatively early age is a great idea.

In the vast majority of divorce cases, one spouse wants to end the marriage and the other does not—at least at the onset. Sometimes the reluctant spouse stalls the process of a divorce in the hopes of a change of heart or out of spite. But your divorce attorney will know how to end these delaying tactics.
