Getting a Divorce in Orange County? Organize This Info Now!

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.

You will need the following types of information:

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: Your employer, spouse's employer, occupation, monthly income, withholdings, if not working an explanation, number of exemptions.

5. Liquid assets: Cash, stocks, bonds, checking accounts, life insurance.

6. monthly expenses: the list is too long to be contained in this article. However, I've included a link below make sure you visit and view the list to get an idea of the numerous types of items you will want to consider.

If you have this information at your disposal and you have filled out the linked form, you will save your attorney time which will save you money. It follows that the more information you have prepared and organized the less time you are turning will have to spend compiling and organizing and preparing your case.
