Meeting with An Illinois Family Lawyer

At the time you request a consultation, you could be at one of three stages in the process: 1) contemplating the possibility of a separation or a divorce, 2) ready to file legal papers for your family law case, or 3) you have been recently served with legal papers.

Depending on where you are in the process, this optional checklist will help you identify documents that may assist us in assessing your legal position and representing you more effectively. This checklist is provided for your convenience. It is not required that you bring any or all of these documents to your initial consultation:

• Any relevant correspondence, court documents, or court pleadings  
• Current pay stubs for each party
• Tax returns for all years of marriage
• Most recent appraisals for any real estate
• Most recent annual Social Security statement
• Deeds for any real estate owned by either party
• Mortgage statements with current balances
• Statements for stocks, bonds, CDs, IRAs, whole/variable life insurance policies, annuities
• Three months credit card statements 
• Loan balances for all debt
• Statements for all pensions or retirement accounts
• Copy of any pre-nuptial or pre-marital agreement signed
• Documentation regarding any non-marital or pre-marital assets
• Any other information that you think may be useful
