What Should I Not Tell My Divorce Attorney?

Your divorce attorney's job is to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your children. 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. While you may not like the outcome, your lawyer is likely to be happy to tell his or her clients anything that helps them reach the best possible outcome.

Although it can seem daunting to meet with a divorce attorney, you should be confident that they are qualified to handle your case. Talk to your attorney about your concerns and goals. Your attorney should be able to answer your questions with empathy and sensitivity. If your attorney seems to be losing patience and seems to be focusing too much on the costs of the divorce, you may want to find another divorce attorney.

You can't tell your divorce attorney everything. You should not share secrets with your spouse. This may seem a bit embarrassing, but your attorney will appreciate it if you have everything. No matter if your ex is a cheater, financial dishonesty or neglectful of a child, the more information you give the better chance that he or she will use it against you in court. Your attorney will need all the facts, so it's best, to be honest, and open.

You're not allowed to hide your assets. It is illegal to conceal assets. The other side will most likely discover them during a divorce trial. You should always discuss this with your attorney so that you can work through the problem together. If you're not sure of how to share your assets, you should be honest with your lawyer and tell them about it. This way, you can prevent your lawyer from using that information against you.

You shouldn't share any personal information with your divorce attorney. It's best to keep these details confidential until the end of your divorce. Your attorney will also be able to refer you to a local resource who can help you if you need to file a restraining order. When your lawyer has all the facts, you can 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. You should never share this information with your attorney. This will allow your attorney to protect your best interests and your interests. However, if your attorney knows that you've been cheating, you should be honest with him or her.
