What happens Next
Divorce Consultation
Reconciliation
Don’t be surprised if your divorce attorney starts by asking about the possibility of reconciliation. This is usually necessary to establish whether a divorcing couple has any chance of reconciling.
Divorce Settlement
Before any divorce proceedings are instituted, the divorce attorney establishes the likelihood of a settlement between the divorcing parties, in which case constructive negotiations are initiated.
Divorce Procedures
Based on the analysis of the available information, the divorce attorney will recommend certain options, available to the couple in the circumstances, to achieve the best outcome.
The Best Divorce Lawyer
How to choose the best Divorce Lawyer
You need someone to help you stay calm while also protecting your rights and those of your children. An experienced divorce lawyer, whether or not they are also a trained mediator, can assist with negotiations between spouses and help work out key issues such as child custody, support, and property division. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to keep a divorce amicable, in which case a process of constructive litigation should be followed.
Settlement Agreement
The Divorce Settlement Agreement
For most divorcing couples, the single best thing they can do — for the sake of their children, their future relationship, and their wallets — is to keep the process as civil as possible. Failure to settle on aspects such as child custody and maintenance makes for huge legal bills, bitterness, and anguished children. So, when approaching a divorce attorney, be clear about negotiating a settlement rather than fighting it out in court.
