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. Your lawyer will likely be open to telling clients any information that can help them achieve the best outcome.

While it may seem intimidating to meet with a divorce attorney, it's best to trust that he or she is qualified to handle your case. Talk to your attorney about your concerns and goals. The attorney should be able to answer all your questions with sensitivity and empathy. 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.

Your divorce attorney will not be able to hear 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.

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. This should be discussed with your attorney so you can both work out the issue together. If you're not sure of how to share your assets, you should be honest with your lawyer and tell them about it. You can also stop your lawyer using this information against you.

Your divorce attorney should not have access to any of your personal information. It's best to keep these details confidential until the end of your divorce. If you have to file a temporary restraining order, your attorney can refer you to someone nearby. When your lawyer has all the facts, you can make informed decisions. Your lawyer will ensure that the process runs smoothly.

Your attorney should not be told that you have had an affair. An extramarital relationship can cause complications for your attorney. Aside from that, it could lead to a lower settlement value. This information should not be shared with your attorney. In this way, your divorce attorney will be able to protect your interests and protect your best interests. However, if your attorney knows that you've been cheating, you should be honest with him or her.
