Unless you have very specific education and experience in the areas of divorce and family law, there are many things a divorce attorney can accomplish that you might not be able to. In addition to practical knowledge like following legal processes, proper completion and filing of paperwork, and handling negotiations, an attorney offers truly valuable services that can cater to the needs of even the most complex divorce situations. 

3 Ways a Divorce Attorney Can Help Your Case

Assess Settlement Offers

Do you know what constitutes a good settlement? Are you confident in your ability to accurately and objectively judge any offers you receive from your soon-to-be ex? If your answer is "no" to either of these questions, a divorce attorney's services are right for you. Your lawyer can assess any offer you receive, weighing the proposed dollar amount against your current and future needs, and let you know if you should accept the settlement or go back to the negotiating table.

Pursue Child Support

If you have minor children, you want to make sure they are going to have the resources they need to grow and thrive. The issue of child support can be a tricky one to navigate, and a divorce attorney's representation is crucial. Your lawyer will help ensure all elements of your children's lives are included in your negotiations and the payments you ultimately receive.

Locate Concealed Assets

Unfortunately, not every divorce is going to be an amicable experience. A spouse may attempt to "hide" assets from their soon-to-be ex, either through temporarily transferring ownership to another party of conveniently omitting it from divorce paperwork. When this happens, a legal process called “discovery” has to happen, and a divorce attorney can handle this on your behalf. Locating concealed assets could have a major bearing on the resolution of your divorce, and it's a service only a lawyer can provide with the required skill and professionalism.
