FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need a lawyer?
Getting divorced is a complicated process. Attorneys attend school for years to understand all that the legal system encompasses. While you can technically represent yourself in a divorce suit, it can be a difficult process and end up costing you time, money and stress.
“When contemplating a divorce, it is important to consult with an attorney,” Rashelle Fetty, a Texas Legal participating attorney, said. “An attorney can be your voice during the divorce process and communicate your wants and needs effectively all while navigating the legal system.”
Even if your divorce becomes emotional, your lawyer can be an objective party who can remain calm and keep your best interests in mind. But before you hire an attorney, make sure you interview several and let them know what your goals are. It’s essential that you feel comfortable with your divorce attorney and feel confident that they will represent your interests.
