Know your complete financial picture including assets, debts and monthly expenses.  As part of the dissolution process, you will need to prepare an Affidavit of Financial Information, which details your monthly living expenses.

Make sure you have sufficient cash on hand to protect yourself in the event that accounts are closed or frozen as it may takes several weeks or longer to obtain a support order and begin an income stream.

Retain sufficient financial records, including bank statements, credit card statements, mortgage bills, insurance policies, three years of tax returns and investment accounts and statements.

Establish your own bank accounts once you are certain that the divorce is imminent. You should also request that your employer change the direct deposit to your new separate account to insure a financial stream.
