Divorcing In Orange County? Get Your Lawyer This Info Immediately
If you are seeking a divorce in Orange County, California and are meeting with your attorney for the first time there are several types of information you need to prepare. Most likely your attorney will have a form for you to fill out and will oftentimes go through it with you. However, the purpose of this article is to give you advance warning of the types of documentation and information you’ll need during your client consultation. I have also included a link to a Judicial Council Form provided by the Superior Court of Orange County that many attorneys use.
It would be wise to prepare, organize and bring the following information:
1. Personal: All social security numbers, and dates of: (1) birth, (2) marriage, and (3) separation;
2. Property: Family Residence and who owns it (or leases), mortgage or rent amount, loan balance, source of funds for purchase and mortgage payments, value of home, other Real Estate, household furnishing and approximate value, automobiles, life insurance, bank accounts, safe deposit boxes, pensions, assets of children, other assets, and a description of whether the above is separate property;
3. Obligations: Debts- include when incurred, reason, date due, and repayment terms.
4. Income: Employer, occupation, monthly income, exemptions, withholdings, and if not working explain why. Do the same for spouse.
5. Liquid assets: Cash, stocks, bonds, checking accounts, life insurance.
6. Monthly expenses: an extensive list of these is included on the linked form below. Be sure to visit the link and review all of the many types of expenses.
Having this information at your disposal and using the linked form will save you time and money. The more information you have prepared and organized the less time your attorney will need to compile it and prepare your case.
