You are required to draft all necessary pleadings and court papers for your respective client except for summons, notice of related cases, and similar non-substantive filings...another division of the firm will handle that. Your pleadings must appear professionally drafted. That means typed...spelling and grammar count. Do not handwrite any information on anything that you submit. The assignments must be uploaded via Canvas. One last thing, you are free to adlib on nonessential information that is not included in the fact pattern. We will discuss in class what are the REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO BE PREPARED. Bob Smith has hired the firm and wants it to file an action for dissolution of marriage. He advises that he and Amy have agreed that he will file first. FACT PATTERN Amy Smith and Bob Smith were married in New York on 01\/01\/2012.

Their mortgage payment is $5,000.00, which includes principal ($1,000.00), interest ($2,000.00), taxes ($1,000.00) and homeowners' insurance ($1,000.00).
