Finding out that your spouse has appointed a divorce lawyer can leave you feeling anxious and unsure about what comes next.
Even if you both agree to divorce, you may have different views on arrangements involving your children, maintenance, matrimonial property and costs.
Getting your own legal advice can help you understand your position before you respond, sign documents or agree to settlement terms. You should not assume that your spouse’s lawyer is also advising you or protecting your interests.
At TEH & YU, our divorce lawyers can review any letters, divorce papers or proposed settlement terms you have received, explain their implications and advise you on your next steps.
Seeking advice early also gives you time to prepare relevant documents and consider your options carefully.
