What are the Signs that You Should Consult with a Divorce Lawyer?
Divorce is a heavy word loaded with serious emotion and implications. If that word has crossed your mind and you started doing research, it is time to contact a family lawyer. Consulting with a divorce lawyer does not mean you have to follow through and file. It is a consultation like any other, where you consider your options and gather more information for the decision-making process.
Remember that at Glenn-Dinwoodie Law, LLC, we offer a 30-minute free, no obligation consultation. Taking advantage of this simple phone call may provide you with clarity on your next steps. While there are many signs that it is time to contact an attorney, there are a few that tend to be the most common.
You Can Imagine Life Without Your Spouse in the Picture
Just as one of the reasons you may have originally gotten married was that you could not picture a future without your spouse, finding that you now can see a future without your spouse is a sign that divorce is coming. If you have already started making concrete plans without your spouse, it is past time to consult with a family attorney. You should discuss the legal ramifications of your intentions.
At Glenn-Dinwoodie Law, LLC, our divorce attorney will listen to what you have been going through and ask many questions to understand your experiences, state of mind, and goals. She will also explain the options for divorce or your other next steps. No matter your decision, you will come to it with far more information than prior to your consultation.
You Have Fears About Leaving the Marriage
Many people remain in an unhappy marriage because they do not feel as though it is possible to leave because of finances, family, or social pressure.
A divorce attorney’s job is not to convince you that divorce is the best plan of action. Rather, Rebecca Glenn-Dinwoodie will provide information and resources that help you explore your options. Fears are often based on questions you do not know how to answer. Your consultation will offer guidance that allows you to begin finding answers that will inform your decisions.
You Have Been Served with a Divorce Complaint
Perhaps you were not considering divorce at all, but your spouse has filed a Divorce Complaint. While this may be surprising, upsetting, or completely expected, contact Glenn-Dinwoodie law as soon as possible. Because the two sides in a divorce have competing interests even in the most amicable circumstances, you should have an attorney dedicated to your best interests. Hiring an attorney to represent you in your divorce will help you save time and often money, reduce the emotional burden of the steps involved, and keep things moving in the most efficient manner.
Even if you do not consent to the divorce and would like to engage your spouse in preventative steps, an attorney will help you understand your rights, responsibilities, and what steps may take place if you refuse to consent to the divorce.
Contacting a divorce attorney may seem quite daunting, but it is not definitive. This conversation is merely one item in a series of choices that will help you make the best decision for your present and future well-being. If you have been considering the end of your marriage, contact Glenn-Dinwoodie Law, LLC for a 30-minute consultation with our offices in either Montgomery or Bucks County to review your options and next steps. We serve clients in Doylestown, Ambler, Norristown, Plymouth Meeting, and surrounding areas.
