For most couples entering into a divorce, the process is filled with legal language, rules, and protocol that are largely foreign. A divorce attorney can provide some valuable insights during your first meeting, but it's important that you, as a prospective client, know the right questions to ask. The divorce lawyers at The Law Offices of Conti & Levy serve clients throughout the Torrington, Connecticut area. They’re here to discuss three questions you should ask your divorce attorney.

3 Questions To Ask Your Divorce Attorney

lawyer1. What Are The Usual Procedures & How Long Will They Take?

You want to prepare as much as possible for the future of your family. A key part of this preparation is understanding all state and federal laws that relate to your divorce and how these laws will apply in your situation. You'll also want to know how long the process will take; while a divorce lawyer will probably not be able to give you a firm deadline, they will be able to give you a rough idea of when the legal process will be resolved.

2. What About Child Custody?

Understandably, your main focus is your children. If you and your spouse cannot agree who will have custody of them, you probably have a lot of questions about how the legal system is going to help. Feel free to ask your divorce attorney about this aspect of your case and what you can do to ensure your children are placed in the most appropriate home. The lawyers at The Law Offices of Conti & Levy will work closely with you to create a legal strategy that is most beneficial to you and your family.

3. How Do You Charge?

Don't be afraid to ask your divorce lawyer about their fees and how often they bill. By talking openly and honestly about financial matters, you are building trust between your divorce attorney and yourself. Make sure you are clear on all issues relating to fees so that you can focus on other matters as your case moves forward.
