What to expect when I meet with my divorce lawyer
There are several important things you should consider asking your divorce attorney. Some of the key questions to ask include:
What are my legal options and what are the potential outcomes of each option?
How will my assets, debts, and income be divided during the divorce process?
How will child custody and support be determined?
How will spousal support (also known as alimony) be decided?
How long will the divorce process take, and what are the costs associated with it?
How will we communicate and how often can I expect updates on the case?
Do you have experience with similar cases to mine, and what were the outcomes?
How do you plan to handle negotiations with my spouse and their attorney?
How will you ensure that my rights and interests are protected throughout the divorce process?
It's important to remember that every divorce is different, and your attorney will be able to provide specific guidance based on your individual circumstances. It's also a good idea to bring any documents or information related to your marriage, assets, and debts to your initial consultation with your attorney.
