How do I ensure that our assets are divided fairly in a collaborative divorce?

If you and your spouse are planning a collaborative divorce in Alaska, there are a few steps you can take to ensure that your assets are divided fairly. The first step is to come to a mutual agreement on how to divide your assets. This includes any investments, property, retirement savings, and other financial assets you both may have. You and your spouse should make sure to clearly outline who will receive what assets, and the percentage of those assets. Both parties must be willing to compromise to come to an agreement. If financial assets are too complex to be divided, you may suggest an even exchange, so that each party gets something of equal value. The second step is to consult with a qualified financial adviser or accountant to get the best possible assessment of your financial situation. This can help both you and your spouse understand the value of your assets and liabilities, and ensure that you are dividing them fairly. The third step is to make sure that any settlement or agreement you make is documented and legally binding. You should draft a written agreement that outlines the terms of your agreement and is signed by both parties. This will ensure that the agreement is enforceable and that your assets are divided in accordance with the agreement. Finally, it is important to get advice from an attorney and/or mediator to ensure that the divorce process follows the laws and regulations of Alaska. This will help make sure that your rights are protected throughout the divorce process and that your assets are divided fairly.
