Why Do I Need a Divorce Attorney?
Divorce lawyers understand the significance and consequences your divorce imparts on you and your family’s future. Therefore, they approach every divorce case with compassion, strive to provide an individualized strategy, and advocate for you and your family’s best interests.
When your marriage is headed for dissolution, you might feel you no longer have any control over your future or the futures of your loved ones. In such times, it’s essential to have legal counsel who can help you understand your rights and options and will advocate for you to achieve the most favorable outcome.
While divorce law issues and matters are similar across the country, Divorce Law is very state-specific. It’s advisable that you have a divorce attorney who’s been practicing divorce and custody law in your local area. Your interests are best served by a lawyer who is familiar with divorce and family law, not one who dabbles in general law or mediation.
Every divorce case goes to mediation before going to trial, and many divorce cases settle in mediation. However, it’s better to go to mediation when your case is ready to settle with an ethical legal professional who has your back. When you’re well-advised, you won’t rush your divorce and agree to a bad deal for yourself and your children.
Legal Separation as an Alternative to Divorce
In some cases, spouses choose to live separately and apart but aren’t ready to proceed with a divorce. These couples consider a legal separation. A legal separation provides an alternative to the divorce process. Plus, it gives you and your attorney time to research and review all available options.
If you and your spouse are considering separating or have already separated, an experienced divorce attorney can counsel you on your rights and next steps toward a legal separation. Together, you’ll create a legal separation agreement to protect you and your children in matters of family law.
