Questions to Ask Your Divorce Attorney During Your Initial Consultation
The first meeting between you and your prospective divorce attorney is critical. As a lawyer, I want to know as much as possible about a potential new client’s life and background, as well as the circumstances which bring him or her into my office for advice or representation. One of the ways I use to get to know and understand the man or woman sitting in my office is by listening very carefully to the questions they ask me. The questions themselves tell me a great deal about the type of person sitting in my office, and what he or she knows or thinks they know about their spouse, children, and the law.
From a client’s perspective, questioning a potential divorce lawyer during the initial consultation is a wonderful way to evaluate the lawyer and help decide whether he or she is a good fit for your particular case.
Here is a link to an interesting article about choosing a divorce attorney written from the client’s point of view.
I want to know (according to Pennsylvania law) can I take my children from my husband during our divorce if he has committed adultry? My husband and I have been married for 6yrs, 2 children and has been having an affair with another woman the past 4mo's. Although my children haven't been around her and from my understanding she isn't a criminal or addict of any source, I do not want my children exposed to her-ever. Can I take my children from him legally? Please help!!!!!
Hi... I have a quick question for you... How would you go about picking an attorney in another state? We live in Chicago, but the marriage took place in NYC and that is where the other party lives as well. If there is any way to do this with out having to go to NYC? And I don't know any attorneys in NYC and really don't just want to pick someone out of a phone book. Will it cost more if we are not in NYC?
Thanks so much...
My Mother-in-law and her husband were married in Tennesee, but have lived in Michigan for the entirety of thier marriage. My Mother-in-law would like to file for divoce but believes that her or her husband have to be residents of Tennesee for 6 months and file thier divorce in Tennesse. Is this correct?
I am a resident of NY state and married a Canadian citizen in Chicago. He stayed in Chicago and is in Chicago illegally. We have never resided together in any state especially not Chicago, can I file divorce in NY or must I go to Chicago because he is there and thats where we were married. Can he legally file in Chicago without being a legal resident or citizen?
