Divorce Work Sheet

This document review list is offered to provide you background information on the subject and to aid you in the writing process. Because a Divorce Worksheet is not a legal document, it is not required to be signed, witnessed, or notarized. It is simply a worksheet for gathering information about you and your family in preparation for a consultation with a divorce adviser.

 

The regulations are different if you reside in a community property state. Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin have all implemented community property laws. In community property jurisdictions, property division also involves a decision of whether the property was brought into or acquired during the marriage. If separate property is commingled with marital property or if the couple lived in both a community property and a non-community property state throughout the marriage, the issues become extremely complex.

Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. A Divorce Worksheet is not a legal document, and therefore, does not require any signature, witnesses, or notarization. It is merely a worksheet to assemble information about you and your family if you are preparing for a meeting with an advisor regarding a divorce.

If you live in a community property state, the rules are different. The following states have adopted community property laws: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin. Division of property in community property states also requires a determination as to whether the property was brought into the marriage or acquired during the marriage. The issues become very complicated if separate property is commingled with marital property or if the couple resided in both a community property state and a non-community property state during the marriage.
