Divorce is often an emotional time. And while you and your spouse may be able to complete the divorce without the services of a divorce attorney, hiring a divorce lawyer can help make the most of your divorce proceedings. There are definitely instances where you should consider hiring an attorney: child custody and visitation, significant assets, your spouse has hired a lawyer, spousal support, one spouse tends to dominate the relationship, and/or you or your spouse is self-employed. A divorce lawyer can provide the balance an experience needed to ensure there is balance/fairness.
Make sure you do your due diligence before hiring a divorce attorney. Ensure there is a good personality fit, and that the attorney will make time for your case.
Not a situation to be in, but a lawyer defnitely helps.
