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 information could have a significant impact on 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 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.

To your first consultation, you should bring copies of any property titles or mortgages. 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.

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. It is important to ask about the 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.

Your first meeting should be productive. 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. If you are considering a divorce, make sure you're aware of your spouse's financial situation before the meeting. This will allow you to determine if you should request a division of marital assets.
