What are the best times to contact a divorce lawyer?

When is it appropriate to 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. The first step is to make sure you have a clear understanding of 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 prevent any future disputes over money.

You should also bring copies of any mortgages and property titles to your initial consultation. Your financial situation will be important to your attorney. It is also beneficial to bring your prenuptial agreement and any other documents related to your finances. Also, you should provide any student loans debts. An attorney should be able to identity the person 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 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 them and advise you accordingly. 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. 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.

Your first meeting should be productive. You should not only discuss the legal issue, but also learn about your spouse's financial situation. 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.
