How it works

You gather what you already have, print the divider sheets, and place your papers behind them.

01

Gather the papers you already have

Pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, a deed or title, and loan or debt statements. You do not need to rename them or turn them into a court form.

A short stack of blank letter paper on a desk.

02

Print the divider sheets

Cover, table of contents, a divider page for each section, and a placeholder. The six section dividers also come on their own pages.

Three blank letter sheets, slightly fanned on a desk.

03

Place your papers behind the divider sheets

Print on 8.5 × 11 paper. Three-hole punch. Place them in a 3-ring binder, behind the divider for that section. We don't provide the binder.

An open cream binder on a desk. Three round rings hold letter sheets, and a colored divider shows as a paper edge.

Use colored paper if you want the sections to show in the binder. We don't print hanging tabs.
