Divorce after Twenty years together Community Group

I have a question. If you go to court for spousal support, does the information you need to bring have to be current if the separation occurred years ago, or is it the information from the initial time of separation? Curious id any of you know - you are all such a wealth of information. I am in a no-fault state.
Thanks.

In Australia, I had to supply the information on the date of separation.

Good luck with sorting everything out.

I've had to take my ex back to court three times. I had to furnish current financial info. Good luck on getting this taken care of.

If you can put together the figures from the date of separation WITH ANY UPDATES that would be best. If you don't have exact figures, estimate as closely as you can and remember to always ADD A LITTLE MORE FOR INFLATION.

It took 9 months from the time I filed for divorce until it was final and I had to provide an update at least once in that time period. Lucky for me, I kept good records using Quicken on my home computer. Made the "reporting" easy.

And living in a no-fault state really doesn't have anything to do with finances, my dear.
