Do I Need a Divorce Lawyer?

Do I need a divorce lawyer? The answer is yes, you want a divorce lawyer to represent you in a divorce. Why? Divorce law is complicated. Even people who have “easy” divorces benefit from having a divorce lawyer. Divorce can involve houses, land, cars, trucks, boats, houses, land, pensions, and retirement accounts. It’s not enough to know what you own. A person must also understand the law.

What is a divorce lawyer to you?

A judge cannot tell you what to do because a judge cannot give legal advice. Judges must remain neutral and impartial. A divorce lawyer is the person who actually does the work.

Family Law Guidance

Divorces can also involve issues of child custody, child support, and spousal support. Other divorces might include emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. Sometimes the abuse might be against a spouse or a child. How do you protect yourself? How do you protect your child? Yes, a person can represent themselves in a divorce. But do you know what you are doing?

Business Law Guidance

Some divorces involve businesses, corporations, and limited liability companies. Do you have an interest in the business? How do know? A spouse might have stock options or other investments. A divorce might have a prenuptial agreement. But is the prenuptial agreement valid? How do you know? A divorce lawyer may also be able to get you more out of a divorce because the law may provide one spouse a greater benefit than the other. Or the law may protect your assets or financial contributions, but only if you know the law.
