The Most Commonly Asked Divorce Questions and Answers
By Brent Crouch
Q. What should I ask a prospective a lawyer?
A. Before you hire a lawyer to take on a divorce case, be sure to ask them the following questions?
--What law school did you graduate from?
--Do you know my soon to be ex-spouse? Do you know their lawyer?
--How many divorce cases have you handled up to this point? How many have gone to trial?
--Do you have experience with custody disputes and financial settlements?
--Will you have plenty of time to devote to this case or do you have others coming up that will be a higher priority for you?
- Will you be dealing with my case exclusively, or will you also be having an associate assist? If so, when will I be able to meet them, and what is their relevant experience?
--What are your fees, hourly billing rates, expected method of payment? Do you charge a retainer and if so, how much?
--What are your regular hours and what is the best time for me to contact you?
Q. Divorce mediators: What are they and should I hire one?
A. A divorce mediator acts as a neutral party in explaining applicable local divorce laws to both spouses and helps spouses resolve arguments over child custody and separation of assets sans litigation in the courtroom. A mediator is usually a lawyer or a counselor.
Q: How do I approach the subject of our impending divorce with the children?
A. Its always best to be as honest as possible with your children. Obviously this doesn't mean sharing all the intimate details of the situation with them. Frame your words in as simple and gentle a fashion as possible. Older children are generally already acutely aware that their parents are unhappy together, even if you have done your best to avoid arguing in their presence. Young children though, may be quite shocked by the news, so handle the situation with patience and delicacy.
It cannot be stressed enough to children that they have nothing to do with their parent's marital problems and that both parents still love and care about them.
Q. How do I move on after the divorce?
A. Nobody deals with their new life after the finalization of a divorce in the same way. It depends on that person's personality and mindset as well as the circumstances of and their role in the divorce. Reactions can range from depression to anger to a great sense of relief.
Try to meet new people, learn new and interesting things, and make a fresh start of life as far as possible. Keep stress in check and treat yourself well.
One of the best things about life in general is that we are always capable of learning more and more, regardless of how old we are, or what we may have experienced.
