Divorce and finance recognize that obtaining an annulment can be a very overwhelming and emotionally charged time and consequently keeping in mind and learning what to ask can be a challenging task. Rest assured there are no right and wrong questions.
It is essential to give us with as much information and facts as feasible and never be scared to ask questions. Our staff will continually make time for you and offer the support demanded. The response you receive may not always be the response you want or expect,but will be an answer from expertise and understanding with your best interests at the forefront.
We can not give an exhaustive checklist of all questions to be asked as every case is special,however here are a few essential questions to get you started off which can be asked at a first appointment:
Do I have to get Divorced?
No. Only you can decide if you want to get divorced but there are always a range of alternatives which we will describe to you at your 1st session. You may only know what you want to do when you have spoken to our team and listened closely to our advice.
Do I need a Lawyer?
The short response is no. However,we strongly encourage that you do instruct a lawyer or attorney.
Upon your upfront meeting with us you will see the knowledge and professionalism of our team that will give you the confidence in assigning us.
The threat you take in not prescribing a law firm is that without proper legal advice you may not follow the appropriate divorce procedure which can create delay and incur extra charges. Further and more significantly you may not get the best settlement you could and can not make informed choices.
How much will it set you back?
As will be frequently mentioned,every case is different so we can not tell you definitively what your divorce will set you back.
We will however typically give you a quotation and be able to tell you the costs of the court fees. Court fees are referred to as disbursements and you should ask what other disbursements there could be and ask for an estimate of anticipated disbursements.
We want our clients to be aware of the cost of instructing us,so they don’t enter into something they may not be able to have the means for. We are here to assist and not cause added stress. Knowing the estimated cost from the outset will allow you to budget correctly.
