What Should I Not Tell My Divorce Attorney?

Your divorce attorney has the responsibility to get you and your family the best outcome. Although you might be happy to share many secrets with your attorney, it will only hurt you in the long-term. Your attorney should be consulted if you are considering a collaborative divorce, or if you are involved in a contentious legal case. Your lawyer will likely be open to telling clients any information that can help them achieve the best outcome.

Although it can seem daunting to meet with a divorce attorney, you should be confident that they are qualified to handle your case. When you meet with an attorney, be sure to discuss your goals and concerns. Your attorney should be able to answer your questions with empathy and sensitivity. You may need to look for another divorce attorney if your attorney is losing patience or focusing too much attention on the cost of the divorce.

Your divorce attorney will not be able to hear everything. Don't even consider sharing secrets with your spouse. Although it may be embarrassing, your attorney will appreciate you sharing everything. No matter if your ex is a cheater, financial dishonesty or neglectful of a child, the more information you give the better chance that he or she will use it against you in court. You attorney will need all facts so be open and honest.

You're not allowed to hide your assets. It is illegal to conceal assets. The other side will most likely discover them during a divorce trial. This should be discussed with your attorney so you can both work out the issue together. If you're not sure of how to share your assets, you should be honest with your lawyer and tell them about it. This way, you can prevent your lawyer from using that information against you.

Your divorce attorney should not have access to any of your personal information. It's best to keep these details confidential until the end of your divorce. Your attorney will also be able to refer you to a local resource who can help you if you need to file a restraining order. Your lawyer will give you all the information necessary to make informed decisions. Your lawyer will ensure that the process runs smoothly.

Your attorney should not be told that you have had an affair. An extramarital relationship can cause complications for your attorney. Aside from that, it could lead to a lower settlement value. This information should not be shared with your attorney. In this way, your divorce attorney will be able to protect your interests and protect your best interests. If your attorney suspects that you are cheating, it is best to be open with him/her.
