What Information Do You Need?

The information I generally need on an uncontested divorce is as follows:

* Husband and wife's full names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth and Social Security numbers. I need to know their race and education level (this is required by the State.) I also need the place where they work, work addresses and work phone numbers.

* Whether the parties have ever been married before, and if so, how did that prior marriage end (death, divorce, annulment.)

* The wife's maiden name.

* The date and place (city and county) of the marriage.

* Whether the wife is currently pregnant.

* How the parties intend to divide their property and debts. In an uncontested divorce, most couples simply state that "we have already divided our assets and debts." However, some couples want their asset and debt division to be included in the divorce paperwork.

* If there are any children of the marriage, there are a number of questions that must be answered. Please contact my office for details.
