​    Gather Your Paperwork

DIVORCE: The amount of paperwork an attorney will want, need, and what is required for your divorce can be overwhelming. Once you file for divorce or have been served with divorce papers, you will need to begin gathering the following information to assist not only your case but also you during this process:

  • The birth dates and social security numbers of all parties involved, including yours, your spouse, and children.

  • The latest statements for all credit cards, loans, mortgages, and all other debts.

  • The latest statements for all bank accounts, held in your name, your name jointly with another party and your spouse's name.

  • Deed or mortgage statement for the marital home and all other real estate.

  • Year, make and model for all vehicles and the Blue Book Value of the vehicles. 

  • Copies of your latest utility statements.

  • Copy of your last three paychecks.

  • Copies of your spouse’s last three paychecks.

  • Information relating to all 401(k)s, pensions, and other retirement benefits for you and your spouse.

  • Statements for bonds, stocks, and other investments.

  • Tax returns for the last three years; including any business tax returns if the parties own a business.

  • Prenuptial and/or post-nuptial agreements.

  • If the children have daycare costs, a printout of the daycare costs for the past 12 months.

  • All information as to the weekly cost of healthcare coverage for ONLY the children.
