Hiring a divorce attorney was the right move to make, but don’t stop there. Now that you have legal counsel, make sure that you cooperate with that Gaithersburg divorce attorney in every way possible. Here are a few examples of how to do just that.
Complete disclosure to your attorney is essential. No matter how minute you think a detail happens to be, or how personally embarrassing some event turned out, you need to share it with your legal counsel. Something that you think isn’t relevant to the divorce could turn out to be grounds for seeking a greater share of the assets than you would otherwise be able to pursue.
Another point to keep in mind is that you should share any suspicions that you have about your current spouse. Make it clear that right now it’s more of a hunch and not something that you can prove. For example, if you think that your spouse may be hiding assets offshore, share that thought with your attorney. There may be ways to prove or disprove your suspicion.
Last, remember that you hired legal counsel because you have no more than a surface understanding of how divorce laws work. For this reason, listen closely to what your attorney has to say. You should also feel free to ask questions when you’re not clear on anything to do with the divorce. Rest assured that your Gaithersburg divorce attorney will be happy to provide answers.
Divorce can be a confusing and stressful event. Opting to hire an attorney, and choosing to work with that attorney to the best of your ability, will go a long way toward making this time of your life a little easier to navigate.
