When getting divorced the biggest cost is going to involve your attorney. Once you have hired an attorney then you need to keep in contact and ensure that they are progressing with your case. Many women make the unfortunate mistake of assuming that the Attorney will just get on with the process and that they shouldn’t interfere.
To keep abreast of the current state of your case regularly ask your Attorney questions. Not only will you get answers but it will keep your case to the forefront of your attorneys mind. This helps to ensure that you don’t get overlooked or relegated in his list of priorities. Below you’ll find some other tips that will help to keep your Attorney working efficiently for you.
Make sure that the attorney you employ actually files the necessary motions for you especially if you are required to pay them a retainer. Otherwise you may find yourself in a situation where you are waiting for support to be agreed and provided to you because your attorney has not actually filed the right motions with the court.
If you need to make a call to your attorneys office then don’t spend time chatting to them, rather you should immediately raise what the issue is as they will charge you by the minute for every time they talk to you. Also if you need to ask a routine question of your attorney especially in relation to such subjects as dates of court hearing etc., then speak to one of his support staff. In most divorce attorney firms you will find that very few of them will charge you time for dealing with their support staff and if they do the rate will be much lower than that charged by your attorney.
Attorneys have spent a lot of time qualifying and generally know what they are doing. If the attorney asks you to do something then or advises you on a course of action then you should comply as fully as possible. You must however try to keep contact between yourself and your partner to a minimum so ask your attorney to speak to your former partners attorney when ever possible.
Because hiring a divorce attorney is a very large expense it is important that you keep a close eye on how much their fees are. It is therefore a good idea if you keep a record of every meeting you have with your attorney or any phone call you make to their office or them to you.
