Do I Need a Lawyer for My Divorce?
Posted on Aug 29, 2018 3:23pm PDT
Divorce is an incredibly complicated legal process even for couples who
amicably agree that it suits their best interests. In fact, many spouses
underestimate how many decisions and complex negotiations are involved
in effectively finalizing the process. Whether your divorce is contested
or uncontested, you’re going to need an attorney to protect your
best interests.
For most people, navigating the divorce process is like taking a great
leap into the unknown. Before you make any decisions about your future,
you need to have an understanding of your legal rights and obligations.
This is particularly important if your case ends up in court before a
family law judge. So before you step into any legal complications or accidentally
accept an unfavorable agreement, it’s imperative that you hire a lawyer.
A divorce lawyer can assist you with the following matters:
- Completing your divorce petition correctly
- Responding to the divorce petition in a timely manner if you’re not
the filing spouse
- Providing legal guidance throughout your divorce
- Helping you negotiate child custody, child support, and spousal support
- Cataloguing your separate and community assets, property, and debts
- Representing your interests in divorce court
- Negotiating a fair settlement
