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. 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.

Although it can seem daunting to meet with a divorce attorney, you should be confident that they are 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.

You can't tell your divorce attorney everything. Don't even consider sharing secrets with your spouse. This may seem a bit embarrassing, but your attorney will appreciate it if you have everything. Whether your ex's secret is an affair, financial dishonesty, or child neglect, the more you share the more likely he or she will be to use it against you in a courtroom. You attorney will need all facts so be open and honest.

It is illegal to conceal 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. If you're not sure of how to share your assets, you should be honest with your lawyer and tell them about it. You can also stop your lawyer using this information against you.

You shouldn't share any personal information with your divorce attorney. 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.

Your attorney should not be told that you have had an affair. Your attorney will not be aware of the complications that come with an extramarital relationship. Aside from that, it could lead to a lower settlement value. You should never share this information 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.
