What are the best times to contact a divorce lawyer?

When should you contact a divorce lawyer? Your initial meeting with a lawyer should bring you both relief. In addition to getting an overview of the divorce process, attorneys will answer your initial questions and come up with a preliminary plan of action. The first step is to make sure you have a clear understanding of your situation. The next step after assessing your situation is to talk with an attorney about the details of your case.

Your attorney may advise you to gather as much information as possible about your spouse's substance abuse. This could be critical to your child custody arrangements. You should notify your attorney immediately if you have been informed about your spouse's substance abuse. Your divorce lawyer will tell you to save all information pertaining to your spouse's alcohol or drug abuse. This will prevent any future disputes over money.

To your first consultation, you should bring copies of any property titles or mortgages. Your financial situation will be important to your attorney. It is also beneficial to bring your prenuptial agreement and any other documents related to your finances. You should also provide any student loan debts you might have. Your attorney should be able to identify who is responsible for these debts. You should also bring copies of your most recent tax returns.

A first consultation is a great time to meet your lawyer. This is where you can meet your lawyer and ask any questions. Be sure to openly discuss any concerns you may have. Your attorney will be able to address them and advise you accordingly. An initial consultation will also give you an idea of the costs involved in your case. You should ask about this fee upfront. This will help you to understand what to expect during the divorce process.

Once you've determined that divorce is the best course of action for your situation, you should make copies of all your financial documents and start saving for it. You should also begin to prepare for the expenses related to the divorce. The last thing you need is to fear your spouse finding out you're hiring a lawyer. It is important to keep in touch with your attorney as often as possible. You don't want your partner to discover that your financial details were discussed in the first meeting.

The first meeting with your divorce lawyer should be a very productive meeting. Besides talking about the legal matter, you should also get to know your spouse's financial status. This way, your lawyer can prepare for the divorce proceedings. Before you meet with your lawyer if you are contemplating a divorce, be aware of your spouse's financial situation. This will help you understand whether you should ask for a monetary division of the marital assets.
