Pre-Divorce Document Checklist

In the 72 hours before filing or disclosing divorce, you must secure critical records. Use this interactive checklist to compile the evidence. Tap an item to check it off, or print it out to keep it private.

1. Financial & Tax Records

Bank Statements (Joint & Individual)

Secure statements for all checking, savings, and investment accounts for the last 12 months. Export them as PDFs or copy physical statements.

Tax Returns (Last 3 Years)

Obtain complete state and federal income tax filings, including all W-2s, 1099s, and K-1 schedules.

Pay Stubs (Last 6 Months)

Collect statements demonstrating current salaries, bonuses, and tax deductions for both you and your spouse.

2. Personal & Legal Records

Certified Certificates

Locate and copy your marriage certificate, and children's birth certificates. Keep them in a secure physical location.

Prenuptial/Postnuptial Agreements

Secure a signed copy of any pre-marriage agreements, as these define what assets are considered non-marital.

Children's School & Health Records

Collect report cards, enrollment data, medical cards, and prescription logs. These show primary parenting engagement.

3. Real Estate & Valuation

Deeds & Mortgage Statements

Secure purchase agreements, deeds, property tax reports, and current mortgage outstanding statements for any houses owned.

Vehicle Titles & Loans

Collect titles and active financing details for all family cars, boats, or other motorized vehicles.

Business Tax & Ledger Statements

If either spouse owns a business, collect tax returns, profit & loss statements, and bank records for the entity.

4. Digital Accounts & Security

Isolate Shared Cloud Accounts

Check if your email, iCloud, or Google Drive is shared. Set up a private, unshared email address for lawyer communications.

Update Dual-Factor Phone Numbers

Ensure authentication codes for your private bank accounts or email do not go to a shared family phone or tablet.

Audit Location Sharing & Smart Devices

Check "Find My" shares, smart-home camera shares, and car trackers (e.g. Tesla app sharing) which reveal your movements.
