A copy of the questionnaire is available for downloading from this web site. We meet with only one party at this appointment. We cannot help both parties in a divorce action. During your appointment you will tell us how you want to divide your property and debts, who will have custody of your children and how other matters have been resolved between you and your spouse. Normally, when you leave our office at the end of your appointment, all of the papers will be prepared, we will have given you oral and written instructions and the papers are ready to file with the court and to deliver to your spouse.
Child support is set using state established guidelines and a formula.
The guidelines and formula usually used are available on this web-site. At your appointment, based upon incomes of the parties, we will calculate the child support amount. At that appointment, this office will draft all the legal documents necessary for your divorce action. An attorney will review and oversee the preparation of your divorce paperwork. No court hearing or appearance is required in an uncontested divorce action.
