Going through a divorce is the worst
possible time to be making important legal decisions, but it is part of the
cycle of the bumpy divorce ride. Many people think they know the basics of
finding a divorce attorney, but it is not just a matter of people asking around
for word of mouth recommendations for a good divorce lawyer.These
recommendations are a hit and sometimes they are a miss. Following some basic
steps, you can avoid the Russian roulette game of Find-the-Lawyer that is right
for you.
Your relationship
with your divorce lawyer should
be kept only to the legal aspects of your divorce. The issues that arise to the
emotional upheaval should be left to a therapist. If your divorce lawyer spends
too much time talking with you about your emotional woes, you may end up
spending more money than necessary; make sure the time is used wisely.
You must align yourself with a divorce
lawyer who embraces your values and philosophies. If you are black and white
about the degree with which you want to be represented, it is most important
that you find a lawyer who shares your values.
Gender issues should be left out the door.
Sometimes a woman needs another woman`s perspective to relate to just as men
likewise. This is not the case in choosing your divorce lawyer. Often, it can
be in your best interest to hire a divorce lawyer of the opposite sex. No
matter who you choose, they will be in your team and sometimes it is better to
use this as an advantage, by having an lawyer of the opposite sex who understands
the perspective of your soon to be exin how he thinks and how to use that
knowledge to your advantage.
