Divorce in itself is already troublesome. A divorce lawyer is someone who
can help ease the hassles, but if you don’t know how to work with your lawyer, then
things could just go downhill from there. Here are some tips.
Be honest – You want to irrevocably damage the
connection with you and your attorney? Lie to him. To not be honest with your attorney
can harm your case as your lawyer needs your truthfulness in providing information
to craft a strategy that would benefit your case in the long run. Your lawyer will
need you to furnish critical documents, such as prenuptial and postnuptial agreements,
tax returns, and all other files relevant for the speedy resolution of your
case.
Focus on the big
picture – In a
typical divorce process, these issues should be top priority: child custody and
visitation rights, child support, spousal support, and property division. By focusing
on what matters, you help both yourself, your estranged spouse, and your lawyer
in the long run.
Be realistic – Your lawyer is a legal professional,
not a miracle worker. He cannot accurately predict how your case would turn out,
but he can give you an idea of what you could expect further down the road. Divorce
proceedings and unworldly expectations don’t go hand in hand, as legal matters and
decisions are based on logic.
Put emotion out
of the way – In
divorce cases, emotion would be your worst enemy. By letting emotions overtake your
logical reason, you’re essentially putting the entire endeavor in jeopardy.
