Relevant Information in Divorce Proceedings
You must answer some questions about your case during your initial meeting with your divorce lawyer. The lawyer may want to know the exact date of your marriage. Many may assume that this is the date that the wedding occurred in church or reception. What it means is the legal date of your marriage. In other words, the day that you signed your marriage certificate.
You should be able to answer questions about your circumstances, like your occupation, before filing for divorce, if you have minor children, if the marriage disadvantaged you in any way, such as being unable to finish school, if you hold any stocks, bonds, or another type of investment, and if you own any property.
