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: 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. Obligations: debts- including date incurred, purpose, due date, 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.

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.
