Why you need an experienced attorney

by | Mar 16, 2018 | Firm News, High Asset Divorce |

When you are seeking a divorce in Connecticut, a divorce attorney can help you in a number of ways. Divorce laws vary from state to state. An experienced divorce attorney is going to thoroughly know the laws in his or her state of practice.

Here are some things to consider when you are thinking of retaining an attorney.

1. Divorces can be complicated: Each couple has their own unique issues they bring to the table, whether it is custody issues, pre or postnuptial agreements or estate issues. Your attorney will be able to navigate you through each step of the process.

2. You are emotionally invested: Your attorney is able to provide unemotionally attached advice and direction. Being in an emotional state often makes it hard to make rational decisions. Having a professional help you make the right decisions will also relieve a lot of unnecessary stress.

3. You and your spouse have high-value assets: High-net-worth divorces are even more complicated and require some real expertise to ensure there is equitable property division. Assets may need to be assessed and valued, and your attorney may need to do some first-rate negotiating.

4. You want to prevent delays or mistakes: Decisions made in a divorce can direct the path of your future, and if you have children, their futures as well. An experienced attorney can help guide you to the right decisions and also streamline the process to prevent delays.

While this may be the first experience you have had going through a divorce process, remember that divorce attorneys do this for a living. An experienced one has probably dealt with any kind of issue that you and your soon-to-be ex can throw at him or her. You will be in safe hands.
