Divorce Attorneys, Your Ally During Divorce

Do I need a divorce attorney is a question I hear often and I always attempt to impress on people the importance of retaining a divorce attorney to protect your legal rights during the divorce process. I know however that there are circumstances that make it impossible to hire a divorce attorney.

You’ve made the decision to divorce; now you have to wade through all the ads for divorce lawyers in the yellow pages and decide which one is right for you.

Some divorce attorneys learn that the best way to protect their client is to fight for them and not in a way that promotes an end to conflict. When they look at a divorce situation all they can see is the conflict that is involved between the spouses.

Divorce attorneys are a necessary part of divorce. Necessary doesn't mean you can't keep the expense at a minimum.

Instead of hiring a divorce attorney who charges a retainer fee and high hourly rates, hire one who will take care of the divorce process, from beginning to end for one flat fee.

The Collaborative Attorney is an advisor about legal issues of course. A Collaborative Attorney and his/her client clearly understand and agree that if the case is unsuccessful in the Collaborative model that the attorney will not represent his/her client in a litigated divorce.

The collaborative divorce lawyer acts as a resource, an educator, and an advocate for his/her client.
