The first time meeting with a divorce lawyer can feel stressful. In my 34 years of practicing law, I can say that when I meet a client for the first time, though each situation is unique, the client is almost always feeling common emotions. These can include: sadness, anger, fear, and of course, confusion. There are so many questions to ask a divorce lawyer, and sometimes, clients don’t even know what to ask!

It is important to ask a lot of questions and to ask the right questions, so that you hire an attorney you feel you can trust, who you feel comfortable with, and who you think will get you the best outcome possible.

If you are considering or planning on meeting with a divorce attorney, I think I can help make the meeting more productive by offering:

Several years ago, one of my best girlfriends called me. Through tears, she said, “My husband left me for another woman.” It was horrible. I could not have felt worse for her.

She had been happily married (or so she thought) for over two decades, and was unearthed by her husband asking for a divorce, and then marrying the woman he was cheating with, just days after their divorce was final.

It was a tough road for my friend. I watched her go from rock bottom at day one, trying to absorb the shock, through all the phases. They included tears, depression, furry, fear, bad dates, confusion. Where is she now? She is a happy, healthy beautiful, successful person who is very much in love with a great guy.

Now, what about her ex?

Here is where I think any woman who experiences “My husband left me for another woman”

Divorce LawyerI not too long ago overheard someone in a bookstore telling a group of people why they need to not have their very own attorneys, how they may not trust attorneys, how attorneys would cheat them and the way they should depend upon the company the speaker belonged to instead. Very few couples can agree on, establish, and amicably break up assets in a divorce and not using a lawyer. If you do not have children, have few belongings – should you entered the wedding owning your own vehicles and rented your property, for instance – and agree no spousal help is required of either celebration because, maybe, the marriage was short, you are able to do it yourself on-line.

Let’s face it. We can’t all have the perfect lawyers out there. You will need to compare retainer fees. When you may be underneath the impression that you simply want …

We all know how complicated dating can be, especially in the age of technology. It seems like everyone is always on their phone and it’s tough to connect with someone and build a relationship. That leads us to dating rules. They help you stay on track and protect you from people who might not have your best interests at heart. When you follow the dating rules, it becomes much easier to find a partner.

Your dating rules should be personal to you and what you want out of a relationship. These guidelines will assist you in weeding out one-sided or toxic relationships so that you don’t waste your time on them. Remember that the rules you find most difficult to follow are often the most important, so don’t ignore them just because they’re tough.

Loneliness might be the most painful emotion a person can have. It can feel empty and scary and sad and unfair. Being lonely can make a person feel sorry for him or herself.

A lot of people getting divorced and feeling loneliness after divorce ask, “Will I survive?” My answer is 100% absolutely yes!!
