Steps to Take Prior to Filing for Divorce

  1. Have your sensitive or personal mail forwarded to a trusted friend’s home or your office.

  2. Create back-ups of all important files kept on your shared home computers.

  3. Begin making a list of all of your debts and assets held both solely in your name and held jointly with your spouse.

  4. If you don’t already have one, open a new bank account solely in your name

  5. Make photocopies of all of your important documents (i.e. titles, tax returns, deeds, notes, spouse’s retirement accounts, spouse’s paystubs, etc.)

  6. Change your social networking settings to private and remove any content that may be seen as unflattering.

  7. If you need to communicate anything important to your spouse, do so in writing. Try to refrain from communicating any negative, insulting, or disparaging comments in writing to your spouse.

  8. Keep a journal of any significant events, both past and present.

★★★★★
Carmen G. Soto, is an excellent attorney. She is very patient, knowledgeable, professional and my favorite.... flexible with payment plans. I was in need of an attorney to secure my sons future, and Carmen with her knowledge and experience provided the support we needed. I can honestly say that as a man/father we never get a fair chance in the courtrooms concerning family matters but Carmen made sure the Court systems saw past that stigma and justice was rightfully served. I would highly recommend Carmen G. Soto and her staff. Anonymous

Never having to use an attorney before, I was quite nervous and skeptical about my first meeting. Carmen Soto, not only made my first experience very comfortable, but was very informative and quite knowledgeable in the field of family law and divorce. She was there every step of the way for me as a support system, and her confidence and expertise made my otherwise very difficult situation, a very positive one. I highly recommend Carmen Soto. She is an excellent and compassionate attorney who clearly outlines all your options and takes a personal interest in your individual situation. Anonymous
