What to Bring to a Family Law Consultation

A family law consultation is more useful when the main facts, documents, and deadlines are organized before the meeting.

Helpful information to gather

• Existing court orders or pleadings
• Upcoming court dates or deadlines
• Names of spouses, co-parents, and involved parties for conflict screening
• General income, employment, and household information
• Information about children, parenting schedules, and school or medical concerns
• Major assets, debts, real estate, retirement accounts, or business interests

Do not send confidential documents until the firm confirms that it can represent you and provides a secure way to share materials.
