Key point 1
Divorce searches are emotional and deadline-sensitive. Before a consultation, collect marriage dates, separation dates, children’s details, property information, debts, income records, court papers, and any urgent safety concerns.
Key point 2
Ask about custody, support, property division, timelines, likely costs, mediation options, and what not to do while the case is active. Avoid social media fights and do not hide assets.
Key point 3
Online divorce forms may fit simple uncontested matters, but lawyer advice is safer where children, property, abuse, business ownership, immigration, or high conflict are involved.
