Frequently Asked Questions
We know family law can feel overwhelming—and sometimes, just getting clear answers makes all the difference. Below you’ll find thoughtful responses to the questions we hear most often, designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you move forward.
Why do I have to supply my attorney with so much personal and financial information and documentation?
Your attorney must have adequate information and documentation to support or defend legal claims asserted by you or the opposing party, and to investigate claims and allegations asserted by either party. We understand that the volume of documents that are required in many cases can be overwhelming.
However, these documents are crucial to the outcome of your case and the results we are able to obtain on your behalf. For example, documents provided by you or the opposing party may enable your attorney to discover undisclosed assets, such as a spouse’s paycheck that was earned during the marriage but deposited the day after the separation and which should be included in the marital estate. It is also critically important for your attorney to have information and supporting documentation of each party’s income and expenses in connection with claims for spousal support and child support.
