Divorce Tips:
“Don’t destroy evidence.” Deleting potential evidence can get you in trouble with the court (e.g. fines, attorney fees, etc..) and make it much more difficult for your attorney to provide effective representation.
“Prepare for an exhausting process.” While a divorce can be finalized in 61 days in Texas, most contested matters can take more than a year to complete for issues with property division, spousal maintenance (“alimony”) and child custody.
“Do your homework & get to work.” Start collecting and organizing all your financial documents and completing any homework assigned by the attorney. DO NOT wait until the deadline to complete as the attorney will have to put all your documents in the proper format which can take significant amount of time to complete.
Hire an Attorney.” No matter who initiates the divorce it is important know your rights and have a salty dog to protect your rights and your future.
“Keep your attorney informed.” Make sure to keep your attorney in the loop and make sure they know everything about you, your spouse and your children. The worst thing you can do is to withhold critical details that may come up during trial. It is better for your attorney to be prepared to rehabilitate you during trial rather than leave negative information on the floor.
