Read our blog post below to learn some of the questions you can ask your potential divorce lawyer to make sure your interests line up.
Three Questions To Ask A Divorce Lawyer
Question One: Do You Specialize In Divorces?
This is the first question you should ask a divorce lawyer because you want to make sure they actually specialize in divorces. At Lopez & Wilmert LLP, we specialize in family law which means we can help with divorce, adoptions, custody, child support, prenuptial agreements, move-away orders, community property issues, domestic violence, and paternity. We’re very familiar with divorce and we’ve had experience in a variety of different cases. We make it easy to work with us and we are able to handle any type of divorce situation no matter how out of the ordinary it may be.
Question Two: What’s Your Strategy?
This question will help you determine whether your intentions lineup properly. What do you want from the divorce? Do you only want custody of the kids? Do you only want the summer home? Talk to your potential divorce lawyer about what you want out of the divorce and then determine whether you’d be a good match. When you get a divorce, you’re already going to be going through a tumultuous procedure with your ex-partner, but do you really want to be fighting your lawyer too? When you listen to your potential divorce lawyer’s strategy, make sure it’s a strategy that aligns with what you want from the divorce.
Question Three: What’s Your Estimate For The Total Costs Of A Divorce?
This question is very important too because the estimated cost might be the determining factor on what kind of divorce lawyer you end up with. Keep in mind, many divorce lawyers may not answer this question because each case is determined on a case by case basis, which means there isn’t a solid answer. However, you can determine how much your potential divorce lawyer’s hourly rate may be by asking about the hourly rate. Divorces are expensive, but when you know how much the hourly rate is you can figure out for yourself how much you want to spend and your own limits. In addition, if a divorce lawyer doesn’t answer this question you can use this to your advantage to size them up.
