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. Attorneys will give you a general overview of the divorce process and help you to develop a 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.

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 tell you to save all information pertaining to your spouse's alcohol or drug 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 when you will meet the lawyer and ask all your 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. 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. Your lawyer will be able to prepare for the divorce proceedings by knowing this information. Before you meet with your lawyer if you are contemplating a divorce, be aware of your spouse's financial situation. This will allow you to determine if you should request a division of marital assets.
