When looking for a divorce attorney, it’s important that people know that it’s not compulsory they hire the first attorney they run into. Even if a person gets a recommendation from a family member, friend or colleague, it’s up to them to do their due diligence to ensure they get the best divorce lawyer for their case. Which questions should people ask divorce attorneys?
According to the narrator in the video, one of the questions people should ask divorce attorneys is how much the entire process will cost them.
Most divorce attorneys require a retainer, and the remainder can be paid once the case is concluded.
Clients should also ask their divorce attorneys how often they will communicate regarding the case. The attorney should be able to answer this and provide an organized communication schedule that suits the client. If they cannot answer this question, it could be a sign of poor communication skills which should be a red flag.
Another question people should ask their divorce attorneys is how much spousal support they will pay. This depends on the client’s income, kids and how long they have been married; a divorce attorney should be able to provide a rough estimate.
