Do You Need a Divorce Lawyer?
It depends on your situation's complexity and the conflict level between you and your spouse. You may not need a lawyer if you and your spouse can agree on all the divorce terms. However, if there are disagreements over property division, child custody, or spousal support, a lawyer can help protect your rights and negotiate a fair settlement. Additionally, if your spouse has hired a lawyer, it may be in your best interest to do the same to ensure a level playing field. Ultimately, the decision to hire a lawyer should be based on your individual circumstances and needs.
Mediation: Alternative to Litigation
Mediation is a process where a neutral third party assists couples who are separating to reach a voluntary agreement on issues such as child custody, division of assets, and spousal support.
Getting Legal Help
When considering divorce, seeking helpful advice can be beneficial. It is recommended to consult with an experienced lawyer who can review your case and provide expert guidance.
