Hello, my name is Susan Farris and my hobby is learning about the law. I have an uncle who is an attorney and I've always looked up to him and that's why I find subjects on law very interesting. Through speaking with my uncle and doing research on my own, I've learned about all the different fields of law. Each field of law centers on its own subject and most attorneys specialize in a certain area of law. These include criminal, personal injury, family, bankruptcy, criminal, immigration and business. I find each one of these fields very interesting and I have the utmost admiration for lawyers because they help people through their legal struggles. I wanted to share this information with others who have questions about the different types of attorneys and the law.
Going through a divorce is obviously emotionally difficult. You may now have very different feelings about someone you once loved. But if you want to achieve success in your upcoming divorce case, it's important that you do what you can to keep your emotions in check. One thing that can help you maintain focus and keep your eye on the ball, so to speak, is to go into this process with a clear game plan for how you are going to respond in the courtroom or at the negotiating table if things start to get heated. Here are some tips to help you prepare yourself emotionally and mentally for what's ahead.
Make a List and Keep Those Goals in Mind
You probably have a general idea of what you'd like to get out of this divorce when all is said and done. Write down your goals and make a copy for your attorney. If you get off track somewhere down the line because your ex has egged you into getting emotional, simply take a deep breath and reread your list. This is the goal you are shooting for; don't lose focus now.
Let Your Lawyer Do All of the Talking
Another benefit to having a good divorce or family attorney at your side throughout this process is that lawyers do not have any emotional attachment to their client's case. Your ex might do or say something from the other side of the table or courtroom that makes you want to throw a chair at them. But instead of getting yourself into trouble and screwing up your divorce case, keep your mouth shut and let your lawyer take the lead. Don't respond to attempts by the other side to instigate or get under your nerves. Your lawyer will be able to help deflect some of this and keep the discussion focused on the merits of the case.
Make an Agreement About the Children in Advance
It's important for you and your ex to get through this process without the children getting hurt. Even if you don't have a great relationship with your ex right now, hopefully they will at least be willing to talk to you about the kids. Agree that it is best to shield your children from all of this and that neither of you will say anything bad about the other in their presence.
