Bump. I can't believe I'm the only one who even attempted to respond, given how quick DCUMers are to tell anonymous strangers on the Internet to "dump the bitch/bastard".

I don't know what questions she should ask the attorney aside from checking credentials and any history of disciplinary action, etc., but she should be prepared to offer specific examples of her husband's verbal abuse and alcohol abuse.

Hi,

A relative of mine is seeking divorce from her verbally abusive husband. After fifteen years of verbal assaults and alcohol abuse, she is finally going to consult a divorce attorney tomorrow. I will accompany her to this appointment. I was wondering if anyone could advise me on what questions should be asked during this initial consultation.

Thanks in advance!!!
