When you’re going through a divorce, your mind is often on emotional healing, your children, or simply trying to move forward. Talking about money might feel like the last thing you want to deal with. But when it comes to your divorce case, financial disclosure is one of the most critical pieces of the puzzle.
At C. Alvarez Law, we help clients across Central Florida navigate this process with confidence, because how you handle financial disclosure can have a lasting impact on your financial future.
What Is Financial Disclosure?
In every Florida divorce, whether contested or uncontested, both spouses must complete and exchange financial disclosures. This means providing:
- A detailed list of income sources
- Documentation of assets, such as bank accounts, real estate, retirement plans, and digital assets
- A breakdown of debts, including loans, credit cards, and mortgages
- A monthly accounting of expenses
These documents give the court (and your attorney) a clear view of what needs to be divided as part of the divorce process.
Why Does It Matter So Much?
Even if you and your spouse agree on everything, or you’re hoping to “walk away and start over,” the court cannot approve a divorce without financial disclosure. Why? Because Florida is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital property must be divided fairly.
In short, no matter how amicable or simple your case may seem, the numbers matter.
Our Role: Taking the Stress Out of the Process
Many clients are surprised by how much paperwork is involved in divorce. That’s where we come in. At C. Alvarez Law, we help ensure:
- Your documents are accurate, organized, and complete

What If My Spouse Is Hiding Money?
If dishonesty about finances played a role in your breakup, you’re not alone. In fact, financial infidelity is more common than many people realize. If you suspect your spouse isn’t being truthful about money, our firm will take the necessary steps to uncover the truth, including:
- Requesting additional documentation
- Challenging improper classifications of property as “nonmarital”
- Subpoenaing records, if needed
- Collaborating with forensic accountants or investigators in high-conflict cases
You deserve a fair and honest resolution. We’re here to help make that happen.
