The following material is intended to answer
some of your questions about divorce proceedings in general.
It is not intended to answer specific questions about your
particular case, since each case is different.
The dissolution of a marriage may be a traumatic experience.
Your attorney or attorneys are well aware of the emotional
involvement of the parties. Though we are not behavioral
specialists, we try to relieve your anxiety by attempting to
assist in solving the problems that you face during this
case.
For us to properly represent you, it is necessary for you to
give us all the facts concerning your case. We must also
know your wishes. We welcome your viewpoints. Withholding
information from your lawyer may affect the outcome of your
case, so we advise you to be completely candid with us.
Remember that a fiduciary relationship exists between the
attorney and client.
We want to stress that, although we will counsel and advise
you throughout the case, the final decisions regarding your
case must be made by you. Our experience has shown that most
divorce cases are settled, which means the parties reach an
agreement that is placed on the court's record. NEVER AGREE
TO SOMETHING YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR SOMETHING YOU FEEL YOU
ARE FORCED TO AGREE TO. YOUR CONSENT TO AN AGREEMENT MUST BE
VOLUNTARY, AFTER CONSULTATION WITH YOUR ATTORNEY. After an
agreement is placed on the record, it is extremely difficult
and sometimes even impossible to change it.
Finally, as your representatives, we are here to advise and
inform you, cite the options and alternatives available to
you, process your divorce matter, assist you in decision
making, and cooperate with you in attempting to obtain the
best possible results on your behalf.
