The finalization of your divorce is a moment you have been working toward for some time. It had been a vague point on the horizon throughout a long and difficult process during which you have no doubt learned much about yourself and your ex-spouse.

Be An Active Client

When a person first arrives at an attorney’s office, the first thing on my most people's minds is that they need to find a lawyer, then all of their problems will be solved.  The last thing most people think about is that the role that they must play in their own divorce.  Your lawyer can only be as effective as you make them. 

This is a startling statement to many.  So take a moment to consider it this way: Who knows your life better than you and your spouse?  Who has the most access to information regarding your children and assets?  Who has the most to gain and/or lose in this case?  In other words, while any good attorney will be vested in a good result in your case, that attorney does not have to live your life the divorce is finalized.

It is key to discuss what information is relevant and necessary to your case with your attorney.  However, this will article will provide some practical advice to get you thinking prior to such conversations.
