Offering Experienced Legal Counsel to Help You Prepare For Your Divorce

At the Law Office of Chris Schmiedeke, we understand that each divorce is unique with its own specific set of circumstances. We focus exclusively on family law to help clients throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area effectively prepare for their divorce. Our law is available to help clients secure their best interests through working with them to take the following steps early in the process:

• Organize your paperwork and legal forms — To help expedite the divorce process, we recommend gathering any applicable information, including financial and banking records. The divorce process will move forward more smoothly, if you begin collecting important information about your bank accounts and any retirement plans before filing for divorce.
• Secure your separate assets — Once you decide to get divorced, separate out your individual finances by opening up your own checking and savings accounts. Start to differentiate your individual retirement plans, including your 401 (k) or pension plan. When you are still on amicable terms, work together to discuss the extent of your joint assets, including any stocks, vacation homes and possibly any hidden assets.
• Discuss alternative living arrangements — If you and your estranged spouse have children, work together to develop a temporary child custody arrangement in your children's best interests. We recommend taking into account the location of your child's school district to help make the transition as smooth as possible for your children. This is also a smart time to begin collecting your spouse's paystubs or financial records that can become valuable for child support purposes.

Dealing with all the issues involved in a divorce can often add to the anxiety of a stressful time. We recommend enlisting our law firm early in the divorce process to help alleviate the emotional and financial toll of pursing a divorce. When you work with us, you can feel confident that we will guide you through the divorce process to help protect your best interests.
