Meeting with attorneys today…

…to start getting an understanding of the separation and divorce process. I know very little of this. We have no kids which I suppose makes things a bit easier but wondering how painful this process is? Anything in particular I should ask the attorneys I speak to?

divorcee here:

questions for lawyer:

1. outline process start to finish (clearly state your desired outcome, what you absolutely must get from this divorcee in order to move on)

2. does your state/province/territory recognize fault or no-fault (NY state recognizes both)

3. provide a list of documents to gather for a successful end to your marriage (financial records, property deeds, prenuptial agreements, etc..)

4. total cost of the divorce (legal fees, court fees, expenses, etc..)

5. how long will it take?

6. what are your rights to perpety and assets

7. can you mediate or settle out of court to save money and time (avoid an actual trial if at all possible)

8. what should you NOT do? there might be things you are doing or are going to do that could damage you case for a divorce

find comfort soon
