What to Expect in a Divorce Consultation

A divorce consultation is generally the first opportunity to lay out the facts of your situation — your assets, your children if you have them, and your goals — and hear a candid assessment of the process ahead.

Expect to discuss timelines, the general shape of your state’s process, and what documentation will be useful early on, such as financial records and any existing agreements.

This is general information, not legal advice. Every situation is different, and a consultation with an attorney is the appropriate way to get guidance specific to your circumstances.
