Thinking About a Divorce?

Here are the facts:

• You are in an emotional state: either angry, hurt, frustrated;
• Chances are you are looking for a quick fix and booking an appointment with the first attorney who can get you into their office;
• It’s very likely you will hire the first lawyer you meet with to work on your divorce.

I challenge you to stop, take a breath, and learn about all of your options before you take any actions.  There are numerous reasons why I suggest this, but one important one is: The attorney you hire and how they guide you through the initial steps of your divorce will have a huge impact on the outcome and your family’s future.
