For Clayton residents facing the possibility of separation, divorce preparation can begin with a simple question: What information do I already have a right to access?

That question anchors a free online workshop on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. EDT, hosted by Triangle Divorce Lawyers in collaboration with 303 Alpha Investigations.

The session will explore divorce evidence collection and divorce evidence preservation without treating a difficult family transition like a spy mission.

Keeping a clear head matters when emotions run high and a hasty decision could create more problems.

Presenters will discuss financial, household, digital and public information that may help someone understand their circumstances before or during divorce.

They will also address how to organize material responsibly, recognize legal boundaries and avoid escalating a disagreement just to obtain information.

Digital awareness is part of the conversation, including OPSEC, or operational security, and the importance of thinking carefully about accounts and devices.

Preparation does not mean collecting everything.

It means learning what may matter, what can be accessed lawfully and when to ask a professional before taking the next step.

Investigator John O’Dea will offer a practical view of documentation and explain when hiring a private investigator may be worthwhile—or an unnecessary expense.

Senior attorney Clayton J. Jones Jr. will address family law considerations, while forensic accountant Gabrielle Juba will discuss financial records and situations that may call for deeper review.

For someone in Clayton trying to make sense of a changing household budget, those different perspectives could make an overwhelming task feel more manageable.

The workshop is intended for people considering divorce, exploring their options or worried that important information could be overlooked.

Attendees can bring general educational questions, although the program does not provide individual legal advice.

The aim is informed preparation, not confrontation.

Attendance is free, but registration is required.
