Section 552.22 of the MCL necessitates that all marital property be disclosed during proceedings. Compile all financial documents such as: tax returns, bank account statements, credit card statements, mortgage statements, retirement accounts, insurance policies, income information. The court will ask to see these documents to understand the value of marital property and how assets will be divided.
Additionally, it can be beneficial to speak with a divorce attorney about options. Mediation is a powerful tool for divorcing couples who are able to reach compromise.
