What Should I Not Tell My Divorce Attorney?

Your divorce attorney has the responsibility to get you and your family the best outcome. Although you might be happy to share many secrets with your attorney, it will only hurt you in the long-term. Your attorney should be consulted if you are considering a collaborative divorce, or if you are involved in a contentious legal case. Your lawyer will likely be open to telling clients any information that can help them achieve the best outcome.

Although it can seem daunting to meet with a divorce attorney, you should be confident that they are qualified to handle your case. When you meet with an attorney, be sure to discuss your goals and concerns. The attorney should be able to answer all your questions with sensitivity and empathy. You may need to look for another divorce attorney if your attorney is losing patience or focusing too much attention on the cost of the divorce.

Your divorce attorney will not be able to hear everything. Don't even consider sharing secrets with your spouse. Although it may be embarrassing, your attorney will appreciate you sharing everything. Whether your ex's secret is an affair, financial dishonesty, or child neglect, the more you share the more likely he or she will be to use it against you in a courtroom. Your attorney will need all the facts, so it's best, to be honest, and open.

It is illegal to conceal your assets. It's illegal to hide assets and the other side will surely uncover them during a divorce trial. This should be discussed with your attorney so you can both work out the issue together. If you're not sure of how to share your assets, you should be honest with your lawyer and tell them about it. You can also stop your lawyer using this information against you.

Your divorce attorney should not have access to any of your personal information. These details should be kept confidential until the final stages of your divorce proceedings. If you have to file a temporary restraining order, your attorney can refer you to someone nearby. Your lawyer will give you all the information necessary to make informed decisions. Your attorney will make sure the process goes smoothly.

You should never tell your attorney that you've had an affair. An extramarital relationship can cause complications for your attorney. Aside from that, it could lead to a lower settlement value. This information should not be shared with your attorney. In this way, your divorce attorney will be able to protect your interests and protect your best interests. However, if your attorney knows that you've been cheating, you should be honest with him or her.
