The joy of disclosure

The joy of disclosure

THE JOY OF DISCLOSURE is an art project that parodies the sheer absurdity that family lawyers and paralegals face every day.

Each piece is presented as a meme in an American kitsch style, from the perspective of a happy but slightly demented family lawyer or paralegal who finds a perverse joy in the more dysfunctional aspects of financial disclosure.

I invite you to share your own disclosure pet hates below. Each will be added to both THE JOY OF DISCLOSURE art project where it will be lamented; and to our 1-Click Disclosure technology project where we will attempt to actually solve it.

'My passion'

What drew me to family law? My passion for gathering disclosure documents of course.

?Our clients just love it!'

Our clients just love it when we chase them for their disclosure documents!


'As soon as I ask them'

Thankfully my clients sent me their disclosure documents in a single email as soon as I ask them.


'Deeply rewarding'

It can be deeply rewarding to manually order and rename bank statements.


'My clients' faces light up'

My clients' faces just light up when I explain their disclosure obligations,


'Wiling away afternoons'

I'll miss wiling away afternoons scanning bank statements.

What else makes you sigh, twitch, groan or just break out into a rash? Let us know below so we can laugh at them, acknowledge them, and then hopefully fix them.

As well as being a bit of fun, this may also be the world’s first art project / design research mashup. Make sure you share it with the family lawyers and paralegals in your network and it may just end up making a difference to your daily life.

This gave me such a laugh. My favourite part of the disclosure process is reading and removing comments and annotations from bank statements. My favourite to date has been “does this dickhead really think his membership to a dating app while we were together is joint expenditure”.
