The Divorce Lawyer: Some Considerations?
A divorce lawyer isn't necessary for absolutely every divorce. A few divorces are simple and the parties agree on everything. However, most divorces are more complex. The role of the divorce lawyer is to give their client some sort of perspective regarding what may or may not happen in their particular case, including what manner of settlement they may or may not win. A good lawyer doesn't promise their client everything, nor do they promise to ruin or punish the client's spouse.A divorce lawyer has to be well versed in the matrimonial law as it's practiced in the jurisdiction where the divorce will take place. Matrimonial law can vary from state to state and maybe even from county to county and laws change regularly. A good divorce layer must stay on top of all of this. They should help their client in discovering all assets and income and litigate matters of contention if the client and their spouse can't come to an amicable agreement. The lawyer should keep the client from making irrational demands and indulging in irrational behavior that could hurt their case. They must also stop the other party from taking advantage of their client. They will, in the end, make sure their client has options rather than have decisions forced upon them.How to Find A Good Divorce LawyerThe best way to find a divorce lawyer is, as with most things, word of mouth. No doubt the client has friends or relatives who have gotten divorced. The one caveat is that nearly everyone feels rather burned in a divorce case and the client shouldn't be surprised if their friend or relation refers them to the lawyer of their former spouse. Another way to find a lawyer is through the Bar Association.The client can make up a list of lawyers to shop for and set up interviews. If the lawyers all seem to have the same level of skill, the client should go with the one who feels the most compatible. Chances are they'll have to work with that lawyer for a long time.During their first interview with a lawyer, the client should tell them the extent and value of their property, their monthly living expenses and their income. The client should be truthful. If not, the lawyer can't help them to the best of their ability. This interview is confidential, even if the lawyer isn't hired.The divorce lawyer is retained when the client asks the lawyer to represent them and the lawyer accepts. The client will then pay a retainer fee and the lawyer's work for them begins.
Is it a conflict of interest for a divorce attorney to hire a client and continue to represent them in cases related to the divorce?
The question is a little confusing, but no, it's not usually a conflict of interest for an attorney to represent someone who works for them, or who is also a client they're representing in other cases. (After all, an attorney is supposed to do the best possible job for their client.)
