Ever
wondered what the life of a Divorce Lawyer is like?
Monday…In the first hour this morning I’ve
spent answering client emails. Weekends can be frustrating. Hysterical
clients will often call and offload with stories of partners who are
misbehaving or breaking a court ruling, not returning the children on time or bringing
them back home physically harmed. The saddest part is when a client has been
denied access to their child.
09:30 am - client appointment – we need to complete some detailed
financial information for preparation of his case which is due to go to a full
contested ancillary hearing next month. I went through the ancillary court
hearing with the client and my junior lawyer and reassured him about how the
process work sand what is likely to happen during the hearing.
11:30 am -Back catching up on some emails. I am meeting a new gentleman expat
client at 4 pm for an initial consultation about his circumstances and need to
check up on divorce laws in Australia – this will be a complementary assessment/consultation. I
like to offer a free consultation on divorce matters so that clients can have
time to understand their options.
01:30 pm -After lunch I have a new divorce inquiry. My junior divorce
lawyer will be sitting in as I want him to gain some
experience in how to conduct a new divorce inquiry as this particular inquiry
involves annulment of marriage in Singapore.
02:30 pm - Meeting up with an existing client and his wife who for whom
we are doing a separation deed. I also need to deal with an overseas lawyer via Skype who is representing my client in England for a divorce matter.
04:30 pm - I’ve finally got a slot to focus on more detailed research
work before meeting with the expat divorce inquiry.
06:00 pm–Final meeting after a long day. Meeting all lawyers in the
boardroom for an informal ‘coffee and chat’, we will be discussing our file
status updatesand the next day`s divorce inquiries.
