If your marriage or relationship has broken down
and you need to get the most value from your lawyer, you should:
Leave the emotions outside the lawyers.
Ask - 'what do I want to achieve?' Make a list, then allocate the various issues to the people best able to deal with the different areas.
Ask 'what am I feeling?' and 'Who might best be able to help with this?'
Ask yourself: 'Do I need my lawyer for this?' and 'What's the alternative?' and 'What will the cost of engaging the lawyer in this instance be?' Think cost, tactics, relationships and emotional stress. Are they still the best person?
Ask what your partner's doing - if they too are using a Resolution lawyer then there may be a faster agreement.
This is an extract from our free eCourse 'Simple Steps to save serious money in divorce' available here to readers wishing to save money in divorce and relationship breakdown.
