To give you the best service possible, please get the following ready before your call:
What to get ready before your call
1. Basic information about your marriage and divorce
The attorney will want to know:
- How long you’ve been married
- If you have any children
- Why you’re getting divorced
- What county you and your spouse live in
This information will help your lawyer understand the context of your divorce.
2. A list of your shared assets
Write down all the items you co-own with your spouse—house, cars, furniture, etc. This will help the attorney get a sense of how assets might be divided up.
3. A list of what you want
Write down what you want to keep coming out of this divorce. If you have kids, make a note of what sort of custody you’d like. This will help the attorney get an understanding of the situation and will help focus the call.
4. Any court dates
Already have a court appearance scheduled? Make sure to share the date and details with the lawyer.
5. Questions
If you have any questions or concerns about your divorce or the divorce process, bring them to your call.
