What are the best times to contact a divorce lawyer?

When should you contact a divorce lawyer? The initial meeting with a lawyer should be a time of relief for you and your partner. 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. After assessing this, the next step is to discuss the specifics of your situation with your attorney.

Your attorney may advise you to gather as much information as possible about your spouse's substance abuse. This information could have a significant impact on 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. Your prenuptial agreement, as well as any documents related to finances, is a good idea. Also, you should provide any student loans debts. Your attorney should be able to identify who is responsible for these debts. You should also bring copies of your most recent tax returns.

An initial consultation is an excellent time to meet your attorney. 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. A consultation with your attorney will give you an estimate of the cost involved in your case. You should ask about this fee upfront. It will give you a better idea of what to expect from the divorce process.

Once you have decided that divorce is the right course of action, it's time to make copies of all financial documents and begin saving. It is important to start planning for expenses associated with the divorce. The last thing you need is to fear your spouse finding out you're hiring a lawyer. However, it is important to communicate with your attorney as frequently as possible. You don't want your partner to discover that your financial details were discussed in the first meeting.

Your first meeting should be productive. You should not only discuss the legal issue, but also learn about your spouse's financial situation. 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.
