Litigating a divorce settlement can be a very disappointing and confusing experience due to couple’s common expectations and assumptions of the divorce process and their divorce lawyers that usually fall short. Most of the disappointment resulting from divorce is due to what many peopleassume will happen with their divorce lawyer and in court during their case. When incorrect assumptions set unrealistic expectations they can have mild to severe repercussions emotionally as well as financially.
In
this blog posting The Divorce Mediation Center explores 5 assumptions couples have of divorce lawyers that usually fall short:
- Their lawyer is their therapist.
- Their lawyer will remember every detail of their case.
- Their lawyer will bring up every detail of their case in court and mediation.
- The initial Attorney retainer fee is all they need to spend and they will be divorced when that fee is consumed.
- When they tell their lawyer they don’t have any more money that their lawyer won’t charge them from that point on but still work on their case.
