Depending on the family law action, the Wisconsin Statutes require you to file a Financial Disclosure Statement. I have included a link for you so that you can read and understand all the information that is needed. We will help you to complete the Financial Disclosure Statement. We work closely together to get it prepared correctly and filed with the court. https://www.wicourts.gov/formdisplay/FA-4139V.pdf?formNumber=FA-4139V&formType=Form&formatId=2&language=en
You are probably overwhelmed and wondering when you will have time to gather information and complete the Financial Disclosure Statement. I totally understand.
I do this thing where I commit 6 minutes to a project at a time. I’m a divorced dad, now remarried, with a complex law practice. I needed to figure out a way to start and balance projects. You will be amazed by how much progress you will make by committing just 6 minutes to a project.
For example, I commit 6 minutes daily to reading a book for pleasure. If I find that I can devote more time to it, I do, but if not, I am satisfied with the 6 minutes of reading I did today. Believe me, 6 minutes is better than no time at all. The trick is the habit and routine. Since I started, I now read every day. So annually I read at least 2190 minutes, which is 182.5 minutes per month or 42.11 minutes per week. The compound effect is amazing, and for me, when sometimes starting a project is the biggest obstacle, the commitment to 6 minutes is an easy entry point.
Give it a try. Set your phone timer for 6 minutes. Focus on the words and when 6 minutes are up, put it down. Come back to it the next day. Who knows, you may even complete the project in 6 minutes.
