Top 5 Reasons You Need an Attorney for Your Divorce

Written By Ronald Johnson

Divorce is a difficult process for all parties involved, but especially if children are also involved.  Things can get contentious, stressful, and overwhelming.  The grieving process makes it difficult to handle legal matters in a non-emotional manner.  Hiring the right attorney for you can make the process run a lot smoother.  Here are the top five reasons you might want to consider hiring an attorney for your divorce.

1.        Representation. If the other party hires an attorney, it’s a good idea for you to do the same.  Your attorney represents you.  Your attorney is your voice—an authoritative one—who knows his/her way around legal matters and in court. 

2.        Security.  If you are entitled to spousal support or child support, an attorney can help you navigate the procedures in processing these claims.

3.        Knowledge & Information.  Avoid procedural mistakes by relying on your attorney to correctly prepare and file necessary documents for your claims and follow correct legal procedures.

4.        Protect Your Assets.  If you own property, businesses, or have large investments, it is important that you protect your assets during a divorce.  An attorney can help you figure out how assets should be divided.

5.        Help You Avoid Court.  A benefit to having an attorney is that he/she can help negotiate settlement so that you can avoid high court costs.  In fact, more than 90% of court cases are settled before going to court!
