To represent you accurately, your lawyer will need to know a lot about you and your family background. As such, you should write a martial history for your lawyer, for both your sakes. You should write about the chronology of your relationship, the role of family and friends, and your education histories. You should also write about your children, your parenting responsibilities and conflicts, and your employment histories, among other topics.
