What You Should Prepare (yes, you can do this in sweatpants)
- A list of major assets—house, car, dog (okay maybe not just yours).
- Income and expenses—aka where your money actually goes (and what your ex thinks it does).
- Your kiddo's school, medical, and activity schedule—because courts love details.
- A calm Spotify playlist for when you start digging into the paperwork.

- Your future budget—because peace of mind is priceless (but groceries aren't).
