Are you going through a divorce right now? Perhaps you are still in the early stages of thinking about the divorce, and you are getting ready to file the paperwork. Maybe you have been served with divorce papers, and you aren’t quite sure what you need to do next.
Regardless of where you are in the process, you will find that working with a divorce attorney will help to make your life much easier. Below are some of the top reasons that you should be using a divorce attorney.
Sometimes, divorces are relatively easy. When there aren’t a lot of assets, when the marriage hasn’t lasted long, or when the couple agrees on the terms of the divorce from the start, they can happen quickly. However, this is rarely the case. Most of the time, there are other issues present. Divorce can quickly become complex.
This is certainly true in cases where there are a lot of assets, a business, children, etc. The seriousness and complexity of the cases will benefit from the help of an attorney.
The goal is for the couple to reach agreements on the major aspects of their divorce, such as asset division, custody, etc. Often, with some mediation and negotiation, couples can reach agreements. However, you need to make sure that your agreement is fair and sound. An attorney can help with this, so it can be presented properly to the court.
A lot is happening during a divorce. Certain types of paperwork need to be filed by certain dates. You need to make sure you understand everything that’s being signed. If you don’t have legal guidance, it’s easy to make mistakes. Sometimes, those mistakes cause delays. With an attorney, you won’t have to worry.
Ultimately, it’s about reducing that worry and your stress levels. Working with an attorney simply makes things easier on you.
Going through a divorce is a major change in your life. Even when it’s the right decision and a welcome change, it doesn’t always mean that it’s easy to handle. Whether you are going through a “simple” divorce or a complex one, make sure you have an attorney on your side. This is true whether your spouse has an attorney or not.
