In the unlikely event you have to retain the services of a divorce lawyer, ensure they have adequate experience and you can rely on them. Ideally a divorce attorney should be spending half their time dealing with divorce cases and preferably one who is a good mediator. However, none of this will be any good without your complete trust in their abilities.
Those attorneys who prefer mediation will look to solve problems by talking and not through the conflict based approach many attorneys wish to provide. A divorce lawyer is a busy person so before you contact them know exactly what information you need them to supply.
Costs are always an issue so write down everything you want to ask and in a logical order always making sure there is an accurate record of times dates and the duration of conversations. Physical meetings will cost more so if an item can be dealt with by mail or on the phone this will save money.
Your attorney is there for advice and any foreseeable legal actions so do not rely on them for anything but what you are paying them for, and especially not as a shoulder to cry on. Unless you actually want your divorce lawyer to do something about your spouse's behavior or actions, do not use them for general complaints as it is costly and probably won't achieve anything.
Remember to stay focused and in control and ensure your lawyer can work with you happily under these circumstances. Tell them you want good advice and will rely on their experience, but that you expect to make decisions that concern the tone and strategy of the case. Ask that you be sent copies of all documents and letters and let them know that you expect phone calls to be answered by the next working day after all you are the one paying the bills.
Instead of hiring a lawyer, it may be far more cost-effective to use the lawyer just for information or advice on specific subjects like a marital settlement because that may be all the legal help you will need. In these circumstances you may only need to write down any issues you are unsure about and speak to your lawyer regarding those, and possible outcomes. You may decide to have a divorce lawyer help with your marital settlement agreement, either to draft one or just to check over one you have made yourself then contact them if you get stuck or confused.
