When you realize that a divorce may be on the horizon, you’ll naturally have several questions about the process. How long will it take? Will you have to go to court? How much will it cost? Enlisting the guidance of a knowledgeable divorce attorney can help you navigate the divorce process with confidence. As you prepare for your initial meeting with a Vancouver divorce attorney, here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your time together.
One of the most critical aspects of the divorce process is the division of assets. You’ll need to locate any documents that can give a clear picture of your financial situation, such as bank statements, retirement accounts, and credit card statements. You should also locate your tax returns, as these can provide a general overview of your financial reality. Your attorney can use the information provided by these documents to assess your needs as you move forward in the divorce process.
During your first meeting, you’ll address many issues. You’ll likely have several questions that you’ll want to cover, so it’s a good idea to write these down ahead of time to make sure that you address them. In the days leading up to your meeting with the attorney, jot down your questions, both general and specific. You may also want to put some of your goals in writing so that your attorney can get a sense of what matters most to you during this process.
The ending of a marriage often involves complex emotions. You may feel hesitant to share this deeply personal experience with an attorney, but it’s essential to be honest and open from the start. Your divorce attorney needs to have a clear picture of your situation and your goals, so make sure that you disclose all relevant information to them. It may be tempting to downplay debt or exaggerate certain details that give you an advantage over your soon-to-be ex-spouse, but these tactics can only harm you in the long run. Instead, trust that your attorney will work at your side to ensure that you receive a fair and equitable outcome.
