It’s time to start preparing for a divorce consultation, where you will meet the attorney you have chosen to represent you and your interests in court. Here are some things you can do to get ready so you are well-prepared and understand what to anticipate. Then, when you are ready, call our office to speak with our dedicated Rochester divorce attorney, Michelle Cimino, so she can start protecting your rights.
Before You Meet Your Lawyer
If you are initiating the divorce, you should have that conversation with your partner. You can often get an idea of what the divorce will look like and likely find out if it will be a tumultuous or amicable parting.
When preparing for a divorce consultation, it is good to have your goals in mind. You might want to go through a mediation with your ex, or this could be traditionally litigated depending on how many issues could arise.
If you have children, it might help to discuss what you and your partner would like to happen in terms of custody. If you already know before you even get to the divorce consultation that they will put up a fight, then it’s time to prepare for that battle.
You Are Not Alone
There are a lot of people who have gone through what you are currently experiencing. According to Rochester First, the divorce rate in NYS went up by 7.69% in the last ten years. We know that divorce can feel very isolating, but we want you to know that we are here for you.
We want you to get to know us during your divorce consultation. You should feel comfortable with your divorce lawyer. You should be able to fully trust that your lawyer is looking out for your best interests.
Some tips that we recommend to people getting ready to go through a divorce are:
- Know who your support system is
- Get into journaling
- Don’t bad about your ex to your kids (if you have any)
- Keep anything negative about your ex off of social media
- Do not hide any assets
When you anticipate a divorce, you likely have many questions. Your divorce consultation is for those questions, and we encourage you to bring them in.
Common Divorce Questions
A lot of the questions that you have are going to depend on your unique circumstances. Some of the most frequently asked questions include:
- How long will it take to get divorced?
- How much does a divorce cost?
- Will I have to pay alimony?
The amount of time a divorce will take and how much it will cost you will depend on how much there is to contend over. If this is a simple divorce with minimal assets and no kids, it will be a quicker, cheaper divorce. On the other hand, if you and your partner have a lot of assets, you have kids together, or you cannot agree on how things should be, it can get more lengthy and costly.
Alimony also depends on the circumstances of the marriage. We can help you understand whether you will receive or pay alimony.
