Finding a good divorce lawyer is very important in any divorce. You have so much to loose in a divorce that you better well be prepared to fight for what you have.
A divorce lawyer will file the proper paperwork to ensure that you get your fair share in the divorce. This is especially true if your spouse is against the divorce or disagrees with certain aspects of the breakup, like custody of children or division of the marital property.
To save money, you and your spouse should sit down and discuss the areas of concern before hiring a divorce lawyer. If you both can come to an agreement on some aspects of the divorce, or better yet, all aspects of the divorce, you will not have to cover those areas other than to tell the divorce lawyer what you can agree on before he or she begins working on your case.
To find a good lawyer, ask some of your friends if they can recommend any good ones to you. If not, search the Internet and phone books to find reputable law firms.
If you both can agree on custody, but can't decide on how to split the value of your home, you will save money when you cover only the concern with your divorce lawyer of how to divide your home. There will be no need to waste time discussing the custody issue if it's resolved, which will save legal fees. A divorce lawyer charges by the hour and if you can save 30 minutes of talking, you could save yourself more than a hundred dollars. Therefore, always discuss aspects of the divorce individually before bringing your concerns before the divorce lawyer.
If you do not feel that your spouse can discuss the case rationally without anger, then your divorce lawyer will know how best to deal with him or her.
Lawyers fee vary so do your homework. Research every possible attorney available. Speak with the potential prospects before you enter into any agreements or sign any binding contracts.
