The biggest expense to be faced by any woman when divorcing their partner is the cost of hiring a divorce attorney. As well as paying the bill, a woman should be prepared to not just sit back and assume that their attorney will do everything right for them and hope that they have their best interests at heart. You need to be pro-active and keep abreast of everything that’s going on.

Keeping in contact with the attorney means that you won’t be over-looked and that file will stay close at hand. This ensures that they won’t forget about your case and relegate it to the bottom of the pile. We have provided some additional tips that will ensure that your attorney is working for you and earning their considerable fees.

Make sure that the attorney you employ actually files the necessary motions for you, especially if you are required to pay them a retainer. Otherwise, you may find yourself in a situation where you are waiting for support to be agreed and provided to you because your attorney has not actually filed the right motions with the court.

When talking with your attorney be efficient, don’t indulge in small-talk and get straight to the point. You will be paying for your time by the minute so discussing their son’s little league victory maybe costing you money. For simple routine questions try asking assistants or secretaries, they will be able to look up facts or court dates and probably not charge you.

Attorneys have spent a lot of time qualifying and generally know what they are doing. If the attorney asks you to do something then or advises you on a course of action, then you should comply as fully as possible. You must, however, try to keep contact between yourself and your partner to a minimum, so ask your attorney to speak to your former partner’s attorney whenever possible.

Log every meeting and phone call with your attorney. Make a note of who you spoke to how long the call or meeting was and what was discussed and any requests you made. Your attorney’s fees are going to be high so it’s best to keep track of them and have something you can compare when you get your bill.

Try to save up questions for your attorney and ask them during one meeting or call. If you have one question and contact your attorney, you will incur a bill. By asking several questions at once you will save some money. If possible try to ask simple questions through email, once again, this will help save time and money.
