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!!!!!
