Tips to prepare for an initial consultation with your lawyer.

Going through a separation/divorce can be a very stressful process that most people have never experienced before.

Your first initial consultation with a lawyer could be overwhelming, so here are a few tips to ensure that you have a productive meeting with the lawyer you meet with:

🔹 Write down specific questions you have for the lawyer.

🔹 Have a pen and paper (or Word document open) to take notes.

🔹Have some general knowledge of you and your spouse’s income, assets, and debts.

🔹 Consider when your “date of separation” is.

🔹If you have children, consider what type of parenting schedule you would like to implement.
