  In divorce, the parties assets are divided. Under the divorce laws of some states they're divided similarly and under the divorce laws of other states, they're divided 'equitably' o-r fairly. Equitably often means similarly to overworked divorce judges.

  Make certain that you know where the copies of the tax claims are. If your spouse includes a business, ensure you have a copy of several years of tax returns for that business. Most of these documents may be copied and hidden safely somewhere not in the house in case that you need them.

You'll not manage to get copies of these returns from the IRS, if there are returns that you have not signed, such as company tax records. If you have access to your spouse's bar or nightclub, you might be in a position to find these tax returns there. You really do need to make copies of these and find these results - for as many years as possible, if you are concerned about your spouse covering resources in a divorce.
