Unfortunately the chances of a married couple splitting up gets higher each year so hiring a divorce lawyer is the next crucial step; ensure they have at least the following abilities:
*Competent in this field *Have the right attitude for this work *Be responsible
In these circumstances you will need a divorce attorney who has at least half their workload in this area and one that is able to act as a mediator. All this will be waste if you do not feel you can trust them, so look for a person you feel comfortable with.
Attorneys that tend to follow the mediation route are good at giving settlement advice but you may need an attorney who is more familiar with courtroom settlements. Preparation for both your divorce lawyer and yourself is important so when you contact them, make sure you know exactly what you intend to question them about.
Make sure you know exactly what you intend to ask and record the answers as each time you contact your lawyer there will be a charge involved so note times dates and durations of conversations. As all costs relating to law and legal advice are costly, try not to visit them at the office unless absolutely necessary; this can be achieved by using the phone or mail.
Your divorce attorney is just a resource for legal matters so do not try to get them personally involved as that is not their function; if you need emotional support there are others who can help with this. Stick to relevant facts when you contact your divorce lawyer; do not discuss other matters regarding your spouse unless they are pertinent to the divorce.
Being in control of your own case and your own life is the single best thing you can do, so it is essential that you have a lawyer who can work on that basis. If they are there purely to act in accordance with the legal issue of divorce it will be more efficient utilization of their services and you will be making the decisions. You must also let them know that you expect copies of all correspondence to be sent to you for you own records and if you contact them by phone, you expect a reply within one working day.
If money is an issue, it may be a preferable for you to only contact a lawyer for legal advice on a marital settlement but not representation. You may decide to carry out research first before you contact them, only asking your lawyer questions you have not been able to find answers too. Many couples now arrange marital settlements, and use a divorce lawyer to help them with this rather than resorting to the courts.
