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. First, you need to understand your situation. The next step after assessing your situation is to talk with an attorney about the details of your case.

An attorney might advise you to get as much information about your spouse's drug abuse as possible. 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 advise you to keep all notes pertaining to your spouse's drug or alcohol abuse. This will help you avoid any future conflicts over money.

You should also bring copies of any mortgages and property titles to your initial consultation. Your attorney will want to know your financial situation. 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. An attorney should be able to identity the person 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. If you have concerns, be sure to discuss them openly. Your attorney will be able to address your concerns and provide you with the appropriate advice. 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 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. It is not a good idea to tell your spouse that you are 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. If you are considering a divorce, make sure you're aware of your spouse's financial situation before the meeting. This will help you understand whether you should ask for a monetary division of the marital assets.
