[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have suggestions for ways (in hindsight/based on real life experience) that you wish you had better managed the divorce process or divorce attorney?

The attorney works for you and yet they are the expert. With this said, how might you have been smarter and more savvy during your divorce process with a retained attorney?  How might you have managed the attorney rather than them managing you--in terms of the ways things were done, hours and money spent?

Any actual divorce attorney's who have suggestions?

I have a friend who borrowed and spent $100,000 during their divorce (they were the defendant) only to end the process no further ahead than if they had just signed the initial documents presented by their ex.

TIA

The story of your friend is precisely why I advise people not to use attorneys except to review documents done in mediation and file for the divorce, but do not use them from the beginning because usually people will end up fighting and get the same amount at the end then if they had just agreed upfront. Agreed to 50-50 of everything everything and call it a day. [/quote]
