What Should I Not Tell My Divorce Attorney?

Your divorce attorney's job is to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your children. While you may be content to keep many secrets, keeping too many will hurt you later on. Whether you're considering a collaborative divorce or are in the middle of a contentious court case, make sure to share all relevant information with your attorney. Your lawyer will likely be open to telling clients any information that can help them achieve the best outcome.

Although it can seem daunting to meet with a divorce attorney, you should be confident that they are qualified to handle your case. When you meet with an attorney, be sure to discuss your goals and concerns. The attorney should be able to answer all your questions with sensitivity and empathy. You may need to look for another divorce attorney if your attorney is losing patience or focusing too much attention on the cost of the divorce.

You can't tell your divorce attorney everything. Don't even consider sharing secrets with your spouse. Although it may be embarrassing, your attorney will appreciate you sharing everything. No matter if your ex is a cheater, financial dishonesty or neglectful of a child, the more information you give the better chance that he or she will use it against you in court. Your attorney will need all the facts, so it's best, to be honest, and open.

You're not allowed to hide your assets. It is illegal to conceal assets. The other side will most likely discover them during a divorce trial. This should be discussed with your attorney so you can both work out the issue together. If you're not sure of how to share your assets, you should be honest with your lawyer and tell them about it. This way, you can prevent your lawyer from using that information against you.

Your divorce attorney should not have access to any of your personal information. It's best to keep these details confidential until the end of your divorce. If you have to file a temporary restraining order, your attorney can refer you to someone nearby. Your lawyer will give you all the information necessary to make informed decisions. Your attorney will make sure the process goes smoothly.

You should never tell your attorney that you've had an affair. An extramarital relationship can cause complications for your attorney. Aside from that, it could lead to a lower settlement value. You should never share this information with your attorney. This will allow your attorney to protect your best interests and your interests. However, if your attorney knows that you've been cheating, you should be honest with him or her.
