Have a separate bank account

If you don’t already have a separate bank account, get one now. Have your income deposited with direct deposit, and have the statements send to your office or delivered electronically.

Have separate credit cards.

This will keep your spending away from prying eyes, and could help you establish your own credit ranking, which will be important after the divorce is final. Again, have the statements send to your office or delivered electronically.

If you don’t ready have an attorney, hire one. Discuss your finances with your attorney. He will keep you out of trouble and will keep you from disclosing more than you need to.
