Focus on the Big Picture
You need to get through the whole process of divorce with as little impact to your
current lifestyle as possible. When negotiating over material items, try not to allow
your emotions to make snap judgments for you. By arguing over these material
items, you are costing yourself more money by making the attorney work longer
hours. Keep what is important as your primary focus; you want to get the entire
divorce process over and completed as quickly as possible so you can go on with
your life.
Know What You Want
Is a divorce lawyer really necessary? Unless there are a lot of financial issues or
children involved, many divorces can be settled outside the litigation process and
can be completed with a mediator. You can get your divorce faster and for a lot
less money through the mediation process, and in such cases, you do not need to
hire a divorce attorney at all. Of course, there are circumstances in which a divorce
attorney will be needed, such as when making legal negotiations with and actually
coming to a settlement with your spouse. However, if there are no real complex
issues, mediation is an option for you to think about.
Find at Least Three Potential Attorneys
When you are seeking a divorce lawyer, do not hire the very first one you call. You
should make a list of at least three potential attorneys to interview. When you are
in need of a divorce attorney, you need to ensure that the one your hire is going to
be experienced in the field of family law that your divorce falls under.
Just like when you are looking for a job, you need to interview potential attorneys
that fit the mold for your family law case. Inquire with each attorney about their
specialty and how much expertise they have. You will also need to discuss what
they typically charge for a divorce from start to finish and if they are going to
require a retainer fee.
