Divorce and Family Mediation Forms
First
Session: For divorce mediation, I ask that you bring the following
for our first session: -
New-Client
Intake form, providing basic information about you. (One form for each
of you.) -
Assets
and Liabilities form. The form has four columns: jointly held assets,
your assets, your spouse's assets, and your children's (major) assets. (Each
of you should fill one out on your own, even if information is repeated.) -
Copies of the last 3 years of federal income tax returns,
W2's and 1099's. If you have your own business, I need the same forms for
it. - Credit
Reports You have a right to free credit reports once per year from
each of the 3 primary reporting agencies. Please print these out and bring them
with you.
