A financial disclosure checklist should connect every required income, asset, debt, and expense entry to supporting records, identify missing information, and separate exchange from court filing. California illustrates the process here; forms, deadlines, service, and privacy requirements must be verified for your own case.

A divorce attorney bills the first consult by the hour, usually between $300 and $500 for 60 minutes. Showing up with the wrong documents (or no documents) burns most of that hour on questions a tax return and a pay stub would have answered in 30 seconds. Four categories cover what almost every attorney needs to give you real advice: identity and marriage, income, assets and debts, and household and children. The same documents are what your state will require for mandatory financial disclosure later, so collecting them once saves money twice.

Temporary orders set the rules a separated family lives under while the divorce or custody case is pending: who has the kids on which nights, who pays what bill, who stays in the house, and who is barred from emptying the joint account. Most are issued within the first 30 to 60 days of filing. They are called temporary, but they usually become the de facto status quo by the time the case ends, so what gets ordered at this hearing matters more than its name suggests.
