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.

You will need the following types of information:

1. Personal: Social Security Numbers for all family members, dates of birth, date of marriage, and date of separation;

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 & Furnishings- approximate value. Automobiles: approximate value. Bank Accounts. Pensions. Assets of children. Description of whether the above are considered 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: Checking accounts, cash, life insurance, stocks, and bonds.

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.

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.
