Walking into your first divorce consultation prepared can make the process smoother and help your attorney give you more precise guidance. Here is what we recommend bringing and thinking through beforehand.
Financial Documents
Gather recent tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and a list of major assets and debts. This helps establish a clear financial picture from the outset.
Children and Custody
If you have children, think about your ideal custody and parenting time arrangement, as well as any specific concerns about your co-parent’s involvement.
Goals and Priorities
Consider what matters most to you: is it preserving certain assets, minimizing conflict, or reaching a fast resolution? Sharing your priorities helps your attorney tailor a strategy.
Questions to Ask
Come with questions about timeline, cost, and the likely process for your specific situation. A good attorney will welcome your questions and answer them honestly.
