A number of factors can and will determine how property and responsibility for debts is divided in divorce. After a few years of marriage, most couples have acquired or mixed their assets together and incurred debts and obligations together. The old saying “What’s mine is yours and what is yours is mine” is a nice sentiment sometimes, unless a couple is going through a divorce. Once you make the decision to divorce, one of the best ways to prepare for everything that comes after is to put your financial information in order and gather as much information and documentation (both historical and current) as you can.
