1. 了解你擁有什么并且備份
Gather as much information as possible, as early as possible, regarding your family's finances, says Solon Vlasto, a financial planner in McLean, Va. 'As a divorce progresses, documentation becomes more difficult to locate,' he says.
弗吉尼亞州麥克萊恩的理財規(guī)劃師Solon Vlasto說,盡早、盡可能多的收集有關(guān)家庭財務(wù)方面的信息。他說,隨著離婚過程的推進(jìn),文件會越來越難找。
從列出一張資產(chǎn)、負(fù)債以及收入來源的單子開始。收集至少過去三年的納稅申報單。獲取雇傭和退休福利信息及保險文件。所有的信息備份。
Start tracking expenses, if you haven't already. The more information you collect, the better. There will be a point in the divorce where you'll have to review your cost of living, Mr. Vlasto says.
開始追蹤支出情況,如果你之前沒有的話。收集的信息越多越好。Vlasto說,在辦理離婚的過程中,你還需要評估生活成本。
