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: Dates of birth, marriage, & separation. And all relevant social security numbers; 2. Property: Household residence- rent or own. Lease payment/mortgage payment. Value of home- source of funds to purchase, source of funds for mortgage payment. Other Real Estate. Household furniture & furnishings- type and approximate value. Automobiles- value, loan balance. Bank accounts, life insurance, pensions, assets of children, and whether the above are considered separate property. 3. Obligations: debts- including date incurred, purpose, due date, and terms of repayment. 4. Income: Include: Employer, occupation, monthly income, withholdings, if not working include a reason, and include exemptions. Provide same for spouse. 5. Liquid assets: Cash, stocks, bonds, checking accounts, life insurance. 6. Monthly expenses: the list is too numerous to list here, please visit the link below and review the Judicial Council Form to get a better idea of the extensive number of monthly expenses that may be applicable in your situation. Organizing your case now will save you time and money. If you provide your information to your attorney in concise, efficient, organized manner it will greatly reduce the time he or she will need to spend doing the same. He will be able to focus on other important aspects of the case.
