Considerations for Mapping Out Your Case Prior to Filing

In the first few weeks following your legal filing, you will need to be prepared to communicate overviews to your attorney that offer them the most efficient view of your case. If you leave out key details, your attorney will be at the mercy of your spouse’s lawyer, but if you communicate too much, you will overpay your attorney for laboring through unnecessary details.

A seasoned attorney will guide you through this process asking for only the exhibits needed for making your case quickly and efficiently, a practice most overcrowded court dockets prefer. You will need above all to have your priorities clearly mapped out, what you can live with and without.
