Why Divorce Advice is Paramount Before Starting the Process

While no one gets married thinking that they’ll have to consider divorce, it is, unfortunately, an undeniable reality for many people. The dissolution of a civil union can be incredibly stressful and emotions can run high when finances, children, and property are in the mix. However, when you work with a trusted attorney, they can offer some peace of mind, ensuring that you’re able to navigate the divorce settlement on your own terms and secure the best outcome for all. When working with an attorney and accessing specialised advice, clients will experience the following advantages:

• Gleaning expert advice and being able to discuss all outcomes and options with a legal professional
• Being able to clearly understand personal rights and your ex-partner’s rights.
• Accessing reliable advice on financials, child custody, maintenance, and asset division.
• Having an expert handle the bureaucratic side of proceedings, including administration and court filing processes.

While some clients who are navigating a simple and uncontested divorce might opt to manage the process alone via a DIY divorce and skip enlisting legal advice, there are certain situations where legal counsel and advice are not merely a nice-to-have option, but rather a necessity. The following situations will require sound legal advice:

• There is a risk of violence or losing your home and being rendered shelter less.
• Many assets need to be divided.
• You are concerned that your ex-partner is hiding finances, or you are in a more vulnerable financial position than they are.
• Children are involved and there are disagreements about custody, residency, maintenance, and location.
• You are being denied access to your children.
• You got married in a different country to that of your nationality and are trying to traverse the challenging process of an international divorce.
