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. While you may be content to keep many secrets, keeping too many will hurt you later on. Your attorney should be consulted if you are considering a collaborative divorce, or if you are involved in a contentious legal case. Your lawyer will likely be open to telling clients any information that can help them achieve the best outcome.

Although it can seem daunting to meet with a divorce attorney, you should be confident that they are qualified to handle your case. When you meet with an attorney, be sure to discuss your goals and concerns. The attorney should be able to answer all your questions with sensitivity and empathy. You may need to look for another divorce attorney if your attorney is losing patience or focusing too much attention on the cost of the divorce.

You can't tell your divorce attorney everything. You should not share secrets with your spouse. Although it may be embarrassing, your attorney will appreciate you sharing 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.

It is illegal to conceal your assets. It's illegal to hide assets and the other side will surely uncover 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. Your lawyer will give you all the information necessary to make informed decisions. Your lawyer will ensure that the process runs smoothly.

Your attorney should not be told that you have had an affair. Your attorney will not be aware of the complications that come with an extramarital relationship. It could also lead to a lower settlement amount. 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.
