For lawyers and counselors

What the file contains

• Page 1: situation, relationship and dates, state and its financial disclosure form, known totals with the number of unknown amounts, debts by whose name they are in, disputed accounts listed apart, the general rule on a partner's debts (and the state's own rule where sourced), and the limits of the file.
• Dates to watch, from the client’s own entries (reply windows, court dates, disclosure deadlines), each with where it comes from.
• The inventory, line by line, with the source and date of every figure, dated as precisely as the client knows it. Unknown amounts are listed, never guessed.
• Gaps ranked by weight, documents to discuss, public records checked, and who holds each missing record with what discovery can reach.
• Letters filled in from the inventory (disputes, validation requests, file requests), with the name and address left for the client to write.
• A monthly money picture and threshold arithmetic on the client’s own figures (no conclusion), and, for New Jersey, New York, California, Texas and Florida, an annex in the order of the state’s disclosure form.
• Sourced state facts with the day each was checked and its review status, and the client’s questions for you.

How to read it

Separate or community labels are the client’s understanding as a non-lawyer, not a position: the file says so under each table, and the characterization is yours. Accounts the client says they did not open or authorize are never counted in the debts.

How it was made

On the client’s own device. We never see the content: no account, no upload, no copy on our servers. The header follows the reader: “Confidential. Prepared by me to communicate with my attorney.” for a lawyer; the facts themselves are not privileged.

What it is not

Not legal advice, not discovery and not a forensic accounting. It only contains what the client could lawfully access. This product is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney.
