VIDEO TRANSCRIPT: At Split Simple, we’re going to help you with all court proceedings. One of the most important things that you need to look at in going forward with your divorce is something called your initial status conference. Typically, this is a meeting with the court — simply a check-in — that happens about 6 weeks after you file your petition for dissolution. At this meeting, the court will want to make sure that you have disclosed certain financial documents.

However, and this is important, in many counties, you can avoid this meeting if you submit all of your documents beforehand and don’t have any children together. Sometimes in counties such as Jefferson, you can avoid the meeting altogether as long as you submit documents even if there are children of your marriage.

If you have any questions about divorce or the mediation process at Split Simple, don’t hesitate to give us a call for Chicago divorce mediation and uncontested divorce services in Denver. And remember, we have a free initial consultation.
