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: Social Security Numbers for all family members, dates of birth, date of marriage, and date of 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. Debts: include date incurred, purpose, date due, and terms of repayment.
4. Income: Your employer, spouse's employer, occupation, monthly income, withholdings, if not working an explanation, number of exemptions.
5. Liquid assets: Stocks, checking accounts, bonds, life insurance and cash.
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.
Gathering this information now will save you time and money. The better prepared and organized you are the easier it will be for your attorney to prepare your file and your case.
