Family Court Exhibit Checklist

Organize custody evidence, financial disclosures, and communication records for family court proceedings with this comprehensive checklist.

Key facts at a glance
  • Financial disclosure in divorce proceedings typically requires 3-5 years of tax returns along with bank, retirement, and property records.
  • Text message exhibits should be captured as screenshots with timestamps visible, then compiled into a single indexed PDF.
  • Custody evidence is organized by category — parenting time, school involvement, medical care, and communications — before being arranged chronologically.
  • Third-party observations, such as statements from teachers or caregivers, form a distinct evidence category from direct parenting records.
  • A financial disclosure package commonly includes pay stubs, business records where applicable, and credit card statements alongside tax returns.
  • ExhibitPrep can batch-stamp compiled screenshot exhibits and combine them into a single labeled document.
  • The family law checklist download requires only an email address and delivers instantly.
