Actress and singer Zooey Deschanel recently filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Ben Gibbard. Gibbard is best known for being the lead singer of the best-selling band Death Cab for Cutie.

Deschanel filed for divorce on Dec. 27 and claimed that the couple had irreconcilable differences. Although the actress says that the couple's split was "amicable," the leak of financial information in the process of this divorce has caught the attention of many high net worth individuals who worry that their divorces may lead to similar disclosures.

The leak of information happened when Deschanel's lawyer attached a document listing all of her assets and expenses. It is unclear whether this was an intentional move, but most people would not want their entire financial picture to be under public scrutiny.

Prominent people in Ohio have similar issues. The divorce of a local leader or businessperson typically makes some news, but a little prying into public court filings can be the start of a vicious rumor mill if a person is not careful. That is why it is important to hire an experienced Ohio divorce attorney who can be discrete and properly protect your privacy.

An experienced divorce attorney can also counsel you through this challenging and emotionally intense process and handle all aspects of a divorce. In addition to financial privacy, other common areas of the divorce process include property division, child custody and post-decree modifications. An experienced divorce attorney will guide a client through each of these processes and make sure to develop the most beneficial comprehensive divorce strategy that is right for your particular situation.
