When meeting with your family law attorney for the first time it is important to bring information with you so that you may focus your conversation on specific items which apply to your case.
-
List of assets
Providing a list of assets and their approximate values is an essential tool to a productive first meeting. Useful documents include bank account statements, retirement account statements, stock options, appraisals, and tax returns. -
List of liabilities
Providing a list of liabilities and the balances will assist your attorney in understanding the value of the marital estate. Documents include mortgage balances, credit card debt, student loan balances, and car loan balances.
