Divorce consultation questions

The divorce process can be an overwhelming experience and twofold when you are going through the process alone. You may not understand how to file your case, whether to work with a mediator or lawyer, or even what to ask for in your marital settlement.

If you have questions about divorce, a consultation with a divorce expert can help. Simply put, divorce professionals, such as attorneys or paralegals, can provide practical guidance based on your specific goals. They can direct you as to what you need, answer any questions you may have and recommend your next steps.

Here are important questions to ask during a consultation.

What you need to know

Finding the right professional service can save time and money on parts of the legal process that can quickly rack up thousands of dollars, often in a matter of days or weeks. But with so many legal professionals out there, how do you choose?

When looking for a divorce professional, communication is key. Above all, they should listen to your concerns and explain the legal process in a way that is easy to understand. Here are ten key questions any divorce expert should be able to answer:

  1. Which services do you offer and what are your fees?
  2. Can you provide an estimate of the total costs?
  3. Do you specialize in divorces or is divorce only part of what you do?
  4. Are you a certified family law specialist?
  5. How long have you been involved in family law?
  6. If I contract your services, what will the process and strategy for my case look like?
  7.  Will anyone else in your office work on my case? If so, what is their experience?
  8. If you recommend mediation, how would you approach so that my spouse and I would feel comfortable?
  9. Can you advise me on different divorce approaches that support my goals?
  10. Do you have any insights into the outcome of my case?
