Many people do not have prior experience with filing a divorce and consequently end up wasting time and money going through different lawyers until they find the right one.
It is good to be realistic when looking for a divorce attorney. Realize that the sole purpose of the divorce attorney is to help the two parties divide their assets and handle any custody issues that may arise. A good divorce attorney will represent their client vigorously throughout this process.
Some people mistakenly believe, however, that a divorce attorney also takes on the role of therapist or counselor. They want the attorney to listen to all of their sadness and frustration, but in truth, that is not the attorney’s job. For this reason, having a realistic viewpoint of the role of a divorce attorney and what you can expect of them will make the entire process easier for the both of you.
It is important to stay focused on the goal of the divorce. The end goal is to simply get divorced and to do so without any major depreciation in your lifestyle. To do this, you will need to control your emotions and not let them crowd out good judgment when it comes to negotiating over items that do not really mean a lot to you in the long run. This way, your divorce does not have to last longer and cost you more than it otherwise needs to.
