Consult With a Divorce Attorney

Divorce Attorneys Not Your Enemy 

When divorce seems to be the only option it's important to get mentally organized before filing papers.  Divorce is without a doubt one of the biggest decisions of a lifetime - it will affect you, your future and if children are involved the lives of your children.

Although many contemplating divorce have made a conscious decision to represent themselves or go pro se, because they can't afford legal counsel, they dislike attorneys or believe that they are in the best position to represent themselves. Representing oneself may or may not be a wise decision. Regardless of your reasons that you want to represent yourself, one of the best first decision you can make is to set up a free consultation with a divorce attorney. Get answer to many important questions before filing divorce papers.

There are many family laws concerning divorce that you don't know about and an attorney can help you make a conscious decision about preparing for your divorce. Before setting up an appointment with an attorney, get organized - jot down questions regarding the children.

Inquire about child support, alimony, medical expenses, visitation rights and who may need to file temporary orders so they may be the primary caregiver of the children and remain in the marital home. The children should be your priority so get a clear understanding of how you can get divorced and yet insure the "best interests" of the children.

Next find out about division of marital assets, if you've been married for several years and alot of assets are involved then find out if you should have a 3rd party do an evaluation of the marital property. You may need to know about retirement funds, business assets, personal property or pre nuptial agreement and don't forget hidden assets and debts.

Don't forget health insurance - will you be covered by health insurance during the interim before the divorce is final. If you believe alimony is in order, find out how much you might expect, how child support is figured and inquire about temporary orders before the divorce is final.

Consulting with a qualified attorney before filing for divorce may save you money, time and heartaches later down the road.  Each State has their own family laws and there have been many recent changes in some of the States regarding alimony.

Divorce - Emotions Dictate Actions

Possibly the biggest mistake made by those contemplating divorce is allowing their emotions to dictate their actions. Contested divorces usually end up in a potentially dangerous roller coaster ride that can and often ends up in a super crash, because one party didn’t have their seat belt on…

It’s human nature to want to punish and pay back your spouse, and that’s exactly the reason so many people settle for detours. Getting a divorce isn’t easy by any stretch of the imagination and you owe it to yourself to slow down and learn what is involved in the divorce process.

Detours like paying $149 bucks for divorce forms that often aren’t approved by your state’s courts or falling for the false information that is offered on going pro se (self - representation.)  Pro se divorce is a tough way to go if you and your spouse can’t agree on child custody, alimony or division of marital assets.

Anger, confusion and the intense desire to take control of one’s life can lead to detours that actually derail your chance to control your destiny. Before heading down the bumpy divorce road, find out what your options are and develop a game plan. 

One of the safest ways to get the correct divorce forms is from your state’s government website. Each state offers a roadmap explaining how to file for divorce. Go to your government website and search for divorce.

Before filing for divorce study your state family laws. Find out what your state’s Statute of Limitations, learn how to legally serve papers on your spouse and verify what family law court will handle your divorce case.  This is just preliminary information, but will prevent many mistakes as you head into the divorce process.

Most of the state government sites give you step by step instruction on filing your papers, answering interrogatories, temporary orders etc. If children are involved, study the information at theses sites on child custody, child support and parenting time. There’s a wealth of knowledge available if you just take the time to study and read it.

Another excellent resource is http://family.findlaw.com/divorce/  this site offers in depth information on family law, divorce, child custody, alimony, division of marital assets and offers the government websites in each state where you can get your divorce forms.

It’s your life, your future and it is possible to experience a favorable decision from the family law judge. Control your emotions, develop a good game plan and be diligent about finding answers to all of your questions.

3 Errors by Pro Se Litigants in Divorce Court

For those contemplating divorce, before jumping into the lion's den proceed with caution.  If your divorce is contested and includes children you want to take some time doing a little investigative research.

The three errors that will darn sure get you in hot water.
1.  Wrong divorce forms are used
2.  Failure to complete or fill out divorce forms correctly
3.  Assuming that the divorce judge is a mind reader and capable of filling in the missing puzzles.

Many times anger and emotion dictates one's action and that can be the very reason that the family law judge passes down an unfavorable decision. The States vary in their family law rules and jumping online and grabbing the wrong divorce forms can be disastrous. Many online sites think one shoe fits all and shoots you the wrong divorce forms for your State.

Assuming you have the correct divorce forms, do you know how to ask for temporary orders during the interim before the divorce is final?  Do you know how to fill out interrogatories?  Do you know the Statute of Limitations in your State?  Do you know how to serve your soon to be ex with divorce papers?  Failure to do any of the above correctly will either get your case kicked out of court or may result in very unfavorable decisions by the divorce judge.

The divorce judge isn't a mind reader, nor does he or she have the time to try to find all of the missing pieces to your divorce puzzle. Have you created a strong divorce case for the court and eliminated the "He said, She said" testimony?

Here's an idea that will save you heartache, confusion and give you a road map for filing divorce papers.  I'm using Arizona as an example. Put Az.gov in the browser, which pulls up the home site then put family law in the search box which takes you to a site that offers the Arizona Family Law information.  At this point search for divorce and read everything before downloading any divorce forms.

All State Governments offer similar information and this is probably the most reliable source if filing for divorce without legal counsel. If you are representing yourself (pro se), this is time well spent. I have written articles on the major errors of those contemplating divorce a jillion times, but almost 75% of pro se litigants are still losing their in court, because they didn't know courtroom protocol or family law rules in their State.

It's so unfair to see so many articles that actually aren't enabling the pro se litigants - so many times these articles actually demoralize, pitty and give the pro se litigant excuses for their struggles in the courtroom. Not taking the time to learn your State Laws or learn the correct way to fill out divorce forms is a feeble excuse - you have the right to represent yourself, but you also have the responsibility of learning how to do this correctly.

This article wasn't written to be brutal or beat up pro se litigants, but it's about being responsible, engaged and equipping oneself with the information that is available. All States have workshops and venues established to help the pro se litigants and all State Governments offer information on family law and divorce.

Divorce - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

www.caseboss.com

The good news is pro se divorce litigants can receive a favorable decision from the family law judge. The bad news is just because you have the right to represent yourself doesn't mean you will win in divorce court. The ugly is strictly this - too many pro se litigants go to court totally unprepared.

The American Bar Association and over 1200 judges that were interviewed say that pro se litigants lose more than they should in divorce cases. So often the pro se litigant doesn't receive a favorable decision from the divorce judge - the ABA explains some of the reasons. 

The American Bar Association says, “Not knowing the legal requirements or procedural rules, omitting important signatures, not following Court schedule, missing deadlines are but a few of the problems that Pro Se litigants experience.” 

The Judges responded by saying, pro se divorce litigants are struggling and often lose more than they should in divorce court.  Statistics also show that a large percentage of pro se litigants leave the courtroom with their bucket half empty. 

A few other problems that weakens a pro se litigants divorce case can't be blamed on the judicial system; (They don't know the Statute of Limitations in their State, (2) They don't know how to fill out interrogatories, and (3) They don't know how to serve papers legally on their spouse. All it takes is a click of the mouse to find the answers on their State's Government website under divorce or family law.

The laws of our land do say one has the right to represent himself, but there are many responsibilities that accompany that law. If you want to receive a favorable decision from the divorce judge, you must be prepared to back up your statements in court with evidence or hard facts. Study family divorce law, build your case and learn courtroom protocol. Pro se litigation seems to be the new fad - but buyer beware.  

Representing yourself requires a lot of hard work. Most State government sites offer workshops and a variety of venues that will assist you in preparing your divorce case. There is a company ( www.caseboss.com) not launched yet that has 30 openings available for those contemplating or going thru divorce. 

They are offering the use of their site free of charge for 1 year, no hidden charges. If you've never had experiencing building or creating a case - send their team an email and they'll be glad to get you started. 

Divorce is tough and pro se litigants have one day in court and a small window of time to present their case to a family law judge. Don’t end up in divorce court with a bunch of lose papers, receipts and sticky notes – build a case that is airtight and strive for a favorable decision from the judge. Quit shuffling thru papers, learn how to organize documents by day, time and subject – learn how to create specific reports, tag information and prepare a strong case.

Kids & Divorce

www.caseboss.com

Divorce law varies from state to state and so do divorce forms. Divorce decisions depend upon the type of relationship you have with other person.

Marriage and cohabitating are two entirely different lifestyles – divorce judges try to make child custody decisions based on the “best interest” of the children.

When couples cohabitate rather than marry, the family law judge in most states grant sole custody of the child or children to the mother, if she is deemed to be a good parent. There are exceptions to this sole custody law if the father can provide evidence that the mother is unstable or unable to function or perform the duties required of a parent.

When the mother isn’t in the home, has passed away or is in an institution the father is granted sole custody over grandparents, aunts, uncles or family friends. The exception to this rule is when the father is unable to provide a home for the children or suffers from chronic addictions, in an institution or has passed away. 

When deciding custody family law judges make final decisions based on the “best interests” of the children – usually the “best interests” of the children supersedes all other laws. A parent is considered to be a fit parent unless he or she is ruled unfit due to personal lifestyle or activities. 

Child custody remains one of the most contentious, heart breaking battles in family law courts. When a good parent allows anger and emotion to dictate their actions they may lose the custody battle before their day in court.

http://www.zoefamilylaw.com/blog/2013/02/texas-father-seeks-sole-custody-of-child.shtml

If a couple is married, judges at times will make the decision to give one parent sole legal custody – this allows one parent to make all major decisions about the child or children’s physical and emotional welfare. 

Often times the judge grants a parent sole physical custody of the children, but grants the other parent visitation rights unless the court feels visitation rights at this time isn’t in the best interest of the children. A judge’s ultimate goal is to allow the children to interact with both parents if possible.

A word of caution about custody battles, if one spouse has legal counsel and one spouse has opted to themselves (pro se,) the spouse with legal counsel will probably get the custody nod from the judge. Of course if the pro se litigant has studied family law, child custody laws and knows courtroom procedures they may win the custody battle – it’s a risk when one spouse has legal counsel. 

Pro se litigants must be prepared to show evidence beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have been the primary caregiver during the marriage. This takes documentation and proof in the courtroom. Child custody battles prove to be a slippery slope that can head any direction – this might be the time to hire legal counsel.

Pro Se Divorce

Are you contemplating divorce or have you already made the decision to go pro se (Self representation?)

So you’ve made a decision to represent yourself (Pro se) in divorce court. The decision was due to finances, your intense dislike of attorneys or your perception that you are the best person available to represent yourself in divorce court. Statistics show that pro se divorce is the new fad – so it’s your turn to prepare for your day in court.

Statistics also show that a large percentage of pro se litigants leave the courtroom with their bucket half empty. They assumed that because they were representing themselves everyone and his brother would offer a helping hand – wrong, judges don’t have the time to take you by the hand and the court staff isn’t allowed to offer legal advice.

Pro se litigants want their cake and want to eat it too – they don’t want to pay for legal counsel, they don’t want to learn family law rules and procedures and they darn sure aren’t going to take time to attend divorce seminars and workshops that are offered through our judicial system. 

The pro se litigant is flying by the seat of his or her pants and most likely will suffer an unmerciful beating in court – the American Bar Association and over 1200 judges that were interviewed say the pro se litigants lose more than they should in divorce court.

No doubt it makes one feel better if they can blame someone for their shortcomings, but the bottom-line is this – it isn’t the judge’s fault, or the fault of your ex’s legal counsel, nor the judicial system. You didn’t do your homework or prepare a solid case for your day in court.

This information comes from the American Bar Association, “Not knowing the legal requirements or procedural rules, omitting important signatures, not following Court schedule, missing deadlines are but a few of the problems that Pro Se litigants experience.” 

A few other problems that weaken your divorce case is not knowing the Statute of Limitations in your State, not knowing how to fill out interrogatories, not knowing how to serve papers legally on your spouse and the pre-conceived idea that everyone owes you a handout.

Divorce is tough, one day in court and a small window of time to present your case to a family law judge. Don’t end up in divorce court with a bunch of lose papers, receipts and sticky notes – build a case that is airtight and strive for a favorable decision from the judge.  Go to www.caseboss.com – there isn’t any charge and you have a great team at your fingertips to answer questions and guide people for 1 year.

Quit shuffling thru papers, learn how to organize documents by day, time and subject – learn how to create specific reports, tag information and prepare a strong case.

Divorce Propaganda

To all pro se divorce litigants, don't fall into the false trap of being victimized by propaganda and false information. 

Put on on your big boy and girl pants and create a divorce case that will receive a favorable decision from the family law judge. First and foremost, don't sink into the pits of the "blame game" - it's not healthy and you're defeated before you start.   

Why are pro se divorce litigants blaming others for there mistakes? Although pro se (self representation) is the new fad on the street for divorce, it’s not a free “get out of marriage” card.  There’s much to do about nothing – it isn’t the court’s fault or the family law judge’s problem nor can the blame be on your ex who has legal counsel

The laws of our land give each and every person the right to represent themselves, but along with this right come a jillion responsibilities.  Yes, by representing oneself you won’t have to pay for legal counsel - maybe you can’t afford a lawyer or possibly you just feel empowered by being given the legal right to represent yourself. 

Over 50% of the pro se divorce litigants can’t afford legal counsel but they can take the time to attend the workshops and venues offered by their State that will assist them in preparing for their divorce.

It’s inexcusable to omit signatures, miss timelines and neglect filling out interrogatories correctly. Some pro se litigants even fill out the incorrect divorce forms and this may be the fault of some Internet sites that have sold them the wrong divorce forms. Divorce forms vary from State to State – be sure you get the correct forms.

Before jumping on the divorce train, it’s crucial that you study the family laws in your State, know the statute of limitations, courtroom etiquette and learn how to prepare a divorce case.  As said earlier, you have the right to represent yourself, but you also have the responsibility of learning what that right actually entails.

Take advantage of your State venues that offer divorce assistance. Read the family laws in your State, know the Statute of Limitations, learn how to fill out interrogatories and be sure you use the correct divorce forms, which each State offers online. Learn how to prepare a powerful divorce case.  

Quit the blame game: (1) The divorce judge isn’t your legal counsel, (2) The court staff is not allowed to fill out forms for you, per law, and (3) The courts are already clogged – you don’t get 2 or 3 re-dos.  Representing oneself is difficult, but doable if you’re willing to roll up your sleeves and do the homework. 

You have one day in court, one small window of time to be heard by a family law judge and going half prepared isn’t an excuse anymore. Reading, studying and attending workshops doesn’t cost a thing – use the many resources offered to you and walk out of divorce court with a favorable decision in your behalf.

Guest Blogger Discusses Legal Aid

www.caseboss.com

Welcome to Scott, a guest blogger - this information shared by Scott shows how commercialized "divorce" is in 2013. Those contemplating divorce should be cautious when preparing for a divorce. 

There are two top spots for the most stressful events in a person’s life – one of these is divorce. For children it can be a terrible life changing experience that may never be perhaps understood until  they become adults. There seems to be no way around the upset but until recent changes in the Legal Aid system at least all vulnerable people were able to get financial help with the divorce proceedings and any custody battle. 

The BBC reported on a case in June, where the only way the couple could afford to get out of a very stressful relationship was with the help of Legal Aid, as costs can be very high and good legal advice expensive.

With the change to the Legal Aid law in April 2013 The Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act (LASPO), there are now vast areas which will not be considered to qualify for any funding e.g. divorce and attached family cases where custody and living arrangements have to be decided, some education and employment law, personal injury and certain negligence cases. 

The ensuing problem will be great as many desperate people have to seek out alternative and possibly unfair alternatives to escape from or end up in court with no legal representation. The most vulnerable people will be the ones who suffer warned the law society to the BBC in April as the Act became Law.

So what are the alternatives to Legal Aid funding for Divorce?

It is hardly surprising that technology has swooped in to try and fill the gap. We have the rise of the ‘Quickie Online Divorce’......and though they seem a good deal being quick and fast there are a lot of pitfalls and disadvantages.  A quick delve into Google and you will come up with an ever increasing list of these new adverts.

Divorce services online are done to a price – anything from £37.00 to £200.00 and as with most things you get only what you pay for! One of the main hidden costs is that the basic legal fees just for the court process will cost £410.00.....and this is something you personally have to pay no matter whether you use a website or a solicitor. So it is a case of ‘buyer beware’ as some of these online divorce websites are unregulated and will not have any professional indemnity insurance!

Then there are of course ‘Apps’ for your smart phone, laptop or tablet or any internet device. These web software divorce services are set up to guide you through the process of all the scenarios involved in divorce. On first glance they seem quite helpful and straightforward but not having had any reliable feedback about this, it remains to be seen how good they are.

Getting a divorce is a serious and can be a complicated process and as such you are well advised to consult legal advice from professional solicitors before going online shopping for a ‘quickie divorce’. As I stated earlier you only get what you pay for and for something as life changing as divorce cheapest is not always best. 

Initially look around for some free advice – some solicitor practices now run ‘divorce surgeries’ for people who cannot afford solicitors, and online you can read specialist blogs of family solicitors.

Conclusively – yes – when you start considering divorce do go online.....but not necessarily shopping for that cheapest quick solution which at first seems the best way out of your problems. It could be the start of even bigger ones!!

"He Said, She Said Won't Win a Divorce Case

During the divorce process, cover your fanny so to speak and build a powerful case for your day in family law court. Check with your state and determine what type of evidence is acceptable in family law courts.  Now’s the time to quietly act as a good detective – turn your story into a fact based divorce case.

Pro se litigants have an extensive amount of work to do – they must study family laws and become familiar with the courtroom process. Eliminate the “he said, she said” testimony by preparing a powerful divorce case.  Divorce judges will not only appreciate your hard work, but in all probability make a favorable decision in your behalf. 

Go back a couple of years, gather up receipts showing date time and amounts, expenses how paid, pay stubs, deeds, bank statements, inventory of household items along with evidence of the value or worth of the items etc. 

Preparing your evidence for child custody is extremely important. Tell a story based on hard facts about your role in mentoring, supporting and caring for the children. Show medical bills including psychiatric or counseling for the child or children, bank statements, cancelled checks and proof of payment serve as strong evidence.  A log or journal showing time spent with children, the children’s extra curricular activities, vacations and anything that pertains to the welfare of the children.

Learn how to label document correctly, gather evidence, log evidence and prepare it for court. A few “don’ts,” many you’ve probably heard about, but a reminder may prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot. 

1. Don’t discuss your divorce or other relationships on the social media – attorneys are wizards at using Facebook, twitter and if there’s a story out there they will find it.
2. Don’t use your credit cards unless there’s an emergency and don’t pay off cards that you share with your spouse at this time. Stay on a strict budget at this time.
3. Don’t text about your divorce and don’t get involved in an adulterous relationship – family law judges sort of frown on this…
4. Don’t snoop on your spouse’s personal affairs – there’s a fine line between snooping and gathering evidence. Be sure anything you do is legal in your State!
5. Last but most important go to court prepared to tell your judge your story with hard facts to back up all of your statements. 

If you need a hand up in building a divorce case, go to www.caseboss.com – they have free assistance to help those contemplating or going thru divorce. Absolutely no hidden charges - the service is free for one year from the day you sign up. This company is preparing to launch in the near future and have an outstanding team standing by to answer your questions.

Treat the Judge With Respect

Judges are human, have feelings and need a little coddling now and then.  They don’t like their courtroom in disarray with spouses acting like hyenas in for the kill.  Nor do they like litigants who come to court expecting a “pitty party.” 

The judge has a very small window of time to hear your divorce and make his or her decision. Without realizing it, what you do and how you act in court impacts your case. 

For the women, if you’re dressed like a hooker don’t expect any special favors from the judge, this is especially true if there are children involved.  In fact you’ve already shown disrespect for the judge in his or her courtroom.

Same things goes for the men, arriving in court dressed like Fred Flintstone, looking like you’ve just crawled out of bed probably will get you a couple of bad dings before divorce proceedings start.

The judge is very perceptive and your body language can be extremely disruptive if you’re shaking your head, pointing your finger or shooting daggers at your soon to be ex. The judge has a job to do - speak when spoken to and don’t turn the courtroom into a backyard brawl.

The fact that two people are appearing before a divorce judge probably means that the divorce is contested and very little is agreed upon – so do yourself a favor and follow the family law rules courtroom etiquette.   

The judge has your future in his or her hands. What does coddling the judge mean? It merely means that one should act respectful and behave appropriately in his or hers courtroom.  Your demeanor and actions in court will affect the judge’s final decision.

Refer to the judge as “your honor” not Judge Wilson, talk to the judge not to the soon to be ex or his or her attorney.  Give special attention to your attire and body language. Never argue with the judge – present a strong case in court with verified proof of bills you have paid, parenting of the children including time spent with children, additional expenses since filing for divorce etc… 

When speaking to the judge, always include the spouse saying our children, our liabilities, our assets and our relationship. Give the judge the necessary tools to grant you a favorable decision – leave emotions out of the courtroom.  Stay on task – your job is to get a favorable decision from the judge.  Don’t play Russian roulette in the courtroom!  www.caseboss.com

Cohabitation - Has Responsibilities

So you are in a relationship and make the decision to cohabitate – believe it or not there’s some pretty important guidelines that one should know before making this move.  Although cohabitation may be appealing to you and your partner, before jumping into a lion’s den take time to study the family laws in you State concerning cohabitation.

It’s important to have a discussion about the financial responsibility of each party.  Who’s going to pay rent, utilities and other costs?  Many make the mistake of jumping into this type of relationship without considering what happens, if and when there is a parting of the ways.   

Don’t throw all of your money in one pot with the idea of living happily ever after.  Be a good book keeper and maintain a written record of all expenses or major purchases that you make. If buying a house together both names should appear on the contract as buyers – the same with a car if both parties are paying for it. 

A written agreement is a good idea because it gives both parties some legal protection.  Decide what the financial obligations are of each party - write them down and keep a copy of said agreement. This type of arrangement actually protects both parties if in the future there is a separation.

When there are children from this relationship – both parents are responsible for caring and supporting the child or children.  Not being married doesn’t give you a free “not responsible” for children card.

When loaning money it’s best to write a check along with a note on how the loan will be repaid – handing out cash isn’t a good idea – you need a record showing the amount and date of the loan.

Best advice when cohabitating is this - protect yourself by keeping accurate records. If you decide to stay at home and care for the children, consider yet another written agreement that shows the other partner’s legal responsibilities in the event the relationship ends.

Beware of a palimony lawsuit – don’t pretend to be Mr. and Mrs. “Jones” when out in the public eye.  A joint checking account is definitely a “NO No.”  If you’re the one making major purchases and paying for them don’t put the other partners name on the title or contract.

Cohabitation sounds like a neat, easy way to live one’s life, but with this type of arrangement comes many responsibilities.  Neither party gets a free ride here! The family laws in your State will give you good guidelines before making a final decision about cohabitating.

Give the Divorce Judge Some TLC
