So after having been divorced 2 times, I have a very simple bit of advice for all people getting ready to go through a divorce.
“Get a Local Divorce Lawyer, and put up a big retainer, like the kind that hurts you to talk about.”
Reasons;
#1. While any old Lawyer can handle your case, a divorce lawyer knows a lot more about the specific goings on in their local court system for divorce. What forms have to be filed when, and what documents you will need to turn over when.
During my last divorce it became very obvious that my former wife got a General Attorney and that I had a Divorce Lawyer. My Lawyer was so on top of things that the other Attorney looked like a dumb ass to the court over and over again, honestly I felt bad for the poor guy because he would ask for things we had already sent over, and turned in stuff late because he was flying by the seat of his pants, and he was really doing that badly, yet my lawyer was so on top of things that when I went on deployment we kept the case going so I did not have to waste time waiting for it to be over before moving on with my life.
#2. The bigger the retainer the, the better the Lawyer/Attorney should be..
During my first divorce I got the guy local to my Father’s house to start the case, and ended up moving to another Attorney closer to the end because of how much more it would have cost me for the first guy to drive all over the state, and it took forever, like the better part of almost 3 years. During the 2nd divorce it was very quick, in fact so much so that I was divorced right after my 2nd adversary of my wedding date.
I know it’s expensive, but when the only way to be healthy, and move on with your life is a divorce, don’t cut corners.
