An attorney might advise you to get as much information about your spouse's drug abuse as possible. This could be critical to your child custody arrangements. If you've been notified about the substance abuse of your spouse, you should contact your attorney as soon as possible. Your divorce lawyer will tell you to save all information pertaining to your spouse's alcohol or drug abuse. This will help you avoid any future conflicts over money.

To your first consultation, you should bring copies of any property titles or mortgages. Your financial situation will be important to your attorney. It is also beneficial to bring your prenuptial agreement and any other documents related to your finances. You should also provide any student loan debts you might have. An attorney should be able to identity the person responsible for these debts. You should also bring copies of your most recent tax returns.

An initial consultation is an excellent time to meet your attorney. This is when you will meet the lawyer and ask all your questions. If you have concerns, be sure to discuss them openly. Your attorney will be able to address your concerns and provide you with the appropriate advice. A consultation with your attorney will give you an estimate of the cost involved in your case. It is important to ask about the fee upfront. It will give you a better idea of what to expect from the divorce process.

Once you have decided that divorce is the right course of action, it's time to make copies of all financial documents and begin saving. You should also begin to prepare for the expenses related to the divorce. The last thing you need is to fear your spouse finding out you're hiring a lawyer. It is important to keep in touch with your attorney as often as possible. You don't want your partner to discover that your financial details were discussed in the first meeting.

The first meeting with your divorce lawyer should be a very productive meeting. You should not only discuss the legal issue, but also learn about your spouse's financial situation. Your lawyer will be able to prepare for the divorce proceedings by knowing this information. Before you meet with your lawyer if you are contemplating a divorce, be aware of your spouse's financial situation. This will allow you to determine if you should request a division of marital assets.
