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. Although you might be happy to share many secrets with your attorney, it will only hurt you in the long-term. 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. While you may not like the outcome, your lawyer is likely to be happy to tell his or her clients anything that helps them reach the best possible outcome.

While it may seem intimidating to meet with a divorce attorney, it's best to trust that he or she is qualified to handle your case. Talk to your attorney about your concerns and goals. Your attorney should be able to answer your questions with empathy and sensitivity. 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.

Your divorce attorney will not be able to hear 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. You attorney will need all facts so be open and honest.

You're not allowed to hide your assets. It's illegal to hide assets and the other side will surely uncover them during a divorce trial. You should always discuss this with your attorney so that you can work through the problem together. You should tell your lawyer if you aren't sure how to divide your assets. You can also stop your lawyer using this information against you.

Your divorce attorney should not have access to any of your personal information. These details should be kept confidential until the final stages of your divorce proceedings. 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 lawyer will ensure that the process runs smoothly.

Your attorney should not be told that you have had an affair. An extramarital relationship can cause complications for your attorney. Aside from that, it could lead to a lower settlement value. This information should not be shared with your attorney. In this way, your divorce attorney will be able to protect your interests and protect your best interests. However, if your attorney knows that you've been cheating, you should be honest with him or her.
