Going through a divorce or think you might do so in the future? Divorce is never something to be desired. It means the end of a marriage that you thought would last. Sometimes children are involved that must be awarded custody to one or both parents on a partial or full-time basis. Assets, estates, and mortgages all come into account as well as any debts the couple had when they were married. It’s not a process that is pleasant to go through.
When you do have to go through a divorce, you need a divorce lawyer who understands the process of divorce and can go through the details of your case. You need them to understand your situation and to have your best interests in mind. This requires a seasoned divorce attorney to help settle every aspect of your divorce.
What to Look for in a Divorce Lawyer
When you are ready to find a divorce lawyer, what should you look for? What qualities are needed to ensure that you get what you need for you and any children that might be involved? It’s a sad time, so you don’t want to make it worse by getting the wrong attorney.
Ideally, divorces can be settled in an amicable manner that is fair to both parties. But unfortunately, some divorces can be messy due to bad feelings on the part of the other party and the situation.
As you look for a divorce attorney, consider the following qualities to help you through the process.
- Good communication– Good communications skills are critical when dealing with any type of attorney. Lawyers are usually highly verbal and tend to be good writers. The best attorneys are analytical and can communicate logically in a courtroom. This is important since they need to represent you in a positive light while illustrating the facts of the case logically.Most divorces do not go to court unless they are contested or involve a custody battle, but communications skills are also important when settling out of court.
- Skill and expertise in divorce cases– Ask your lawyer how much experience they have in the area of divorce. Lawyers are educated to handle most types of cases, both civil and criminal. But it is best to find an attorney who specializes in this area of the law. Check their credentials and see how many divorce cases they have won.
- Availability– During a divorce, you need to be able to count on getting in touch with your attorney quickly. You may have a crisis come up or need to get in touch with them on a moment’s notice. Ask your attorney how they can be reached including phone numbers, emails, and social media. Keep in mind, however, that attorneys are careful to guard your sensitive information and will likely not send anything related to your case over social media or other public forums.
- Support and resources– It’s important to have lots of resources that you can use to help you through the process of divorce. Most lawyers can provide you with important information that you need to make the process more smooth.
- Confidence in your case– Seasoned attorneys have confidence in their ability to win your case and to get you the best settlement possible. When you first speak to a potential attorney, observe the way they handle themselves and see if you think they are confident with your case. This will give you peace of mind.
