A divorce, which is defined as a legal dissolution
of a marriage, is a troubling process for most and can be both
financially and emotional draining. The majority of divorces will
include a division of marital assets, alimony and possibly even
child custody, which is why most individuals choose to hire a
divorce attorney to protect their interests. It’s important
to note that there is a big difference between finding a good
divorce attorney and finding the right divorce attorney for your
individual situation.
There are a number of ways to find a good divorce
attorney, including the yellow pages of your local telephone book,
referrals from colleagues, friends or family members who have
gone through a divorce themselves or simply by interviewing several
different attorneys to find the right one for you. In fact, it
is often recommended that you schedule a consultation with more
than one attorney so that you can learn which has the most experience
in handling divorce cases and choose the one that you feel will
work hard to earn the best outcome for your case. In addition,
meeting with multiple attorneys will allow you to compare rates
and find the one with whom you are most comfortable.
Speaking of rates, the complexity of a divorce
will greatly impact the attorney fees. The more work, research
and negotiation your attorney is required to do, the higher the
fees will likely be. In some cases, a divorce can be handled through
mediation if both spouses are willing to cooperate and end the
marriage on an agreeable note. In most cases, mediation is less
expensive than divorce court due to the fact that less time and
research are involved.
A retainer agreement, which is required when you
assign an attorney to your case, is a legally binding contract
that outlines the attorney’s responsibilities, fees and
other information relating to the case. Both you and your attorney
will keep a copy of the retainer agreement for future reference
and incase there should ever become a dispute involving any aspect
of the case or the attorney’s responsibilities thereof.
