Divorce and family-law financial schedules support
Divorce and family-law financial schedules from Finbryn trace business and personal accounts, calculate income available for support, and separate marital from separate funds for US family-law matters, organized for counsel or a mediator. Every figure traces back to a bank statement or other source document, reviewed by a senior reviewer before delivery.
What is included
- An income-available-for-support calculation with every add-back documented
- A business-and-personal account trace covering the period at issue
- A commingled-funds tracing schedule showing the method applied
- An owner-compensation and distributions schedule where a family business is involved
- A full source-document index tying each figure to an original record
- A documented list of any gap in the records and how it limits the trace
- A summary exhibit organized for counsel, a mediator, or a court filing
- Revised schedules turned around as the matter proceeds
The process
- 1.
Scoping call with the attorney
We cover the accounts involved, whether a business is part of the estate, the period at issue, and the deadline before gathering any records.
- 2.
Gather business and personal statements
Bank, card, and investment statements are collected for both business and personal accounts across the relevant period.
- 3.
Trace the transactions
Activity is traced transaction by transaction across both account types, since spending and income routed through unusual channels rarely surface otherwise.
- 4.
Calculate income available for support
Discretionary and personal expenses run through a business are added back to the reported figure where the documentation supports it.
- 5.
Trace commingled funds
Where separate and marital funds have mixed, the applicable tracing method is applied and every step is documented.
- 6.
Senior review
A senior reviewer reviews the full schedule set before delivery to counsel or the mediator.
Software
Microsoft Excel, QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, CaseWare IDEA
Quality control
A senior reviewer reviews the full schedule set before it goes to counsel.
Pricing
Family-law schedules are scoped and quoted individually, not priced off a flat tier. After a scoping call with the retaining attorney covering the accounts, the period, and the deadline, we quote the engagement on the same footing as the Scale tier on our US rate card, so you have a number in writing before work starts.
