Should I See a Family Lawyer? How to Decide the Next Step.

You may feel overwhelmed and confused about how to proceed with your divorce. You may be looking for help with just one small part of the process, or you may feel like you need an entire team of professionals. Our family law attorneys at Cobb Cole can help answer questions about your legal rights, guide the divorce process, and give you peace of mind as you navigate this difficult time.

You Want to Know What Your Legal Rights Are

If you want to know your legal rights, a family law attorney can help. A family law attorney can meet with you one-on-one to give you information about how the law applies to your situation and how it might impact your decisions for yourself or others. You will also review how the law works and what options are available to protect yourself and those close to you.

In addition, if there is conflict within your family or between families, seeking legal advice will allow everyone involved to think carefully about their actions before making any move that might have consequences lasting to future generations.

You’re Not Sure if You Should File for Divorce

There are many reasons why you might be hesitant to file for divorce. You may love your spouse and not want to end your marriage, and you may also have children and don’t want them to experience too much upheaval.

The best way for you to decide whether or not it’s time is by answering these questions:

  • do I still want to be married to my spouse?
  • what do I hope to get out of a divorce?
  • am I willing to make the sacrifices needed for our marriage to work?

If the answer is yes, then consider working on the internal aspects of your marriage.  There might still be hope for reconciliation after one or both parties agree that their differences can’t be resolved through counseling alone (or at all).

You Don’t Know What the Steps Are 

If you’re unsure how to proceed with a divorce, having a family law attorney guide you through the process can be helpful. An attorney can help you understand your options and make more informed decisions. They will also be able to explain the likely outcomes for each option so that you can choose the best course of action for everyone involved in your case.

If children are involved in your case, it’s even more critical for them to have an attorney who understands their needs and has experience working with children as part of divorce proceedings. A family law attorney will know what issues may arise during custody battles between parents and how best to address them when they arise.

Additionally, suppose there are financial disputes between spouses over debts or property division. In that case, having an experienced legal professional on board can help ensure that both parties get the treatment they deserve while still receiving fair compensation from one another during negotiations or trial proceedings.

Who Can Help Me?

If you’re going through a divorce, or even if you think you might be going through it someday and want to know what to expect, it’s essential to have all the facts. Divorce can be a complicated process—it can be emotionally and financially draining, and it can take many months or years before your case is settled. 

A family law attorney can help ensure everything goes smoothly during this challenging time in your life by providing everything is done correctly according to the law and protecting your interests as much as possible. If any negotiating tactics need to be used during this process, a family lawyer will know how best to go about them, so they work in your best interests while still doing right by those involved in the case (your spouse/ex-spouse).

An experienced family law attorney will help you through all aspects of separation and divorce, whether because one spouse wants out ultimately or both spouses agree on living separately but don’t want their marriage dissolved legally due to financial reasons.

You Need Help Understanding Your Options 

If you need help understanding your options and advice on what’s best for you and your children, a family law attorney can provide it.

  • an attorney can help you understand the divorce or custody process, including how to get a divorce.
  • an attorney can also explain whether there are any options for reducing conflict between you and your ex-spouse, such as mediation.
  • if it’s appropriate in your case, an attorney may be able to help mediate an agreement between both parties that would make things easier going forward (e.g., child support).
