Divorce is difficult and emotional no matter when it happens, whether you’ve been married five years or twenty-five. And divorce season is upon us, as March and August are typically the months when the most divorces are filed in the United States. If you’re facing divorce this spring, the most important thing you can do is speak with a family law/ divorce attorney immediately. During a consultation, you and the attorney can begin to create a strategy to protect your rights and interests.
Have you been served?
If so, do not wait to find an attorney to represent you and your interests. Don’t post anything negative about your spouse on social media, and don’t wait a week or more to make some phone calls. As your paperwork states, you only have twenty-eight days to respond. That time passes quickly. In many cases, it is wise to respond even sooner. So the sooner you find an attorney you trust to protect your rights and stand by your side through the process, the better off you’ll be.
Are you ready to file for divorce?
If so, make an appointment with an attorney who can advise you of your potential rights, obligations, complexities of your situation, and more. When spousal support, child support, child custody, and division of debts and property are at stake, you need the knowledge to make informed decisions. This will happen during a consultation, when you and the attorney have a chance to discuss the details of your unique situation.
