Divorce Lawyers - Quick Divorces
All but a few states place restrictions on the minimum time required before dissolution of the marriage will
be granted by the court. Quick divorces may be granted in a mater of days, subject to the time required for
processing documents. More often, 60 to 90 days are required after filing, as a waiting period, designed as a
mandatory cool-down option to reconsider long term effects. Most divorce lawyers will request the hearing date
in advance, at the earliest date possible, based upon the request of a client.
Divorce lawyers ordinarily offer free initial consultations. Expect a detailed explanation of the process
involved, time required and fees charged. Ask any legal question you may have. Attorneys expect new family law
clients to ask many questions. When shopping fees, be sure to inquire about the payment of retainers and
retainer agreements. A few divorce lawyers request nonrefundable retainers. Most divorce lawyers
charge by the hour and bill monthly.
After retaining an divorce lawyer, all further contact regarding any legal issues should be directed to
attorneys. As a practical matter, after filing for divorce, parents with children frequently choose to continue
discussing their children and needs throughout the process. The decision is entirely yours, and your attorney
will assist you to insure the best interest of your children is protected. |
