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 could be critical to your child custody arrangements. If you've been notified about the substance abuse of your spouse, you should contact your attorney as soon as possible. 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. 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 when you will meet the lawyer and ask all your 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. A consultation with your attorney will give you an estimate of the cost involved in your case. It is important to ask about the 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. It is not a good idea to tell your spouse that you are 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 allow you to determine if you should request a division of marital assets.
