Oct 22nd, 2008 by Jon D. Alexander, Esq.
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.
The type of information you’ll need to bring includes but isn’t necessarily limited to:
1. Personal: Dates of birth, marriage,
2. Property: Residence- lease or own (lease amount). If owner: value of home; mortgage payment, source of purchase funds, source of mortgage payments. Other Real Property. Life Insurance. Furniture
3. Obligations: debts - here you want to include the date the dead is incurred, purpose of the dead, and make sure you include the terms of the repayment.
4. income: include your employer, your spouse’s employer, occupation, monthly income, withholdings, and if you are currently are not working to make sure you include an explanation, and finally include the number of exemptions.
5. liquid assets: here you want to include for example –cash, stocks, bonds, life insurance and checking accounts.
