How to Use Presentations in Divorce Proceedings to Your Advantage

Divorce is emotional and complex and with so many different legal and personal factors involved, it’s important that the information you present is clear to what you’re asking. One of the most effective ways to make your information clear is via creating a well-prepared presentation. In this article we’ll discuss how you can use a well planned presentation to your advantage in a divorce proceeding. 

Presentations You Can Use in Divorce Proceedings

During a divorce, there’s generally different types of presentations you can use in order to resolve the conflict and to showcase clearly the information truthfully. Here’s some types of presentations you can use during your divorce. 

Financial Presentations

One of the hardest parts of divorce is dividing the financial assets and liabilities. Creating a financial presentation can help show your current financial position to encourage fair division of property. 

You can use tables or charts to show your assets and liabilities. These can be from retirement funds, bank accounts, real estate, and other personal property. Some liabilities you can include are loans, credit card debt and mortgages. 

You can use the presentation to show differences in income which include bonuses, salary and other income streams. This can help if spousal support is in question. 

You can use the presentation to break down cost of living and expenses including any childcare, healthcare, bills and other financial burdens. 

Create a visual representation of how the division of property can go. This can give a clear look into what you want or expect during the divorce. 

The financial side of a divorce can be hard, but with a presentation, you have the opportunity to help make the process a lot easier. However, before you create a presentation, it’s important to seek advice from a professional divorce attorney like Freed Marcroft or those similar in your local area, as they can advise you on how to best present your information to the mediator or judge. 

Custody and Parenting Time Presentations

If you have children during a divorce, it can become quite emotional. A presentation can provide additional visual support when working out custody arrangements. Here is what should be included:

You can use the presentation to work out a parenting time calendar. It can show which days you’ll have the children and which days your partner will have them. 

You can use it to document what activities you may currently be handling such as appointments, sports, after school activities, and who will be handling those after the divorce. 

If there’s questions on the home environment, you can create a visual representation of what your home is like with images and statements from friends and other family members to show your home is safe for the children. 

You can use a presentation to outline how you’re going to co-parent in peace for the best outcome for your children. 

Child custody can be difficult, but using a presentation can help break down each part so everyone involved can understand what you’re hoping to achieve. 

Property Division Presentations

The division of assets is also an important and emotional factor for many couples getting divorced. Be sure to observe the following steps:

Create an asset inventory using a table. Include things like real estate, your home, businesses, valuable personal items or vehicles. Use this inventory to divide the items evenly during the mediation. 

If you have appraisals of the items, add those in a separate presentation slide with images of the item so your legal team can understand the value of them better. 
When sharing the items provide pros and cons for each side as this helps the mediator work out who should get what. 

Endnote

Divorce can be messy, emotional and expensive if it’s not done swiftly. By taking the time to create a well documented presentation, your legal team has a better chance offering a fair outcome from your side so everyone involved can walk away in peace.
