Finding the right divorce attorney is the most important part of your divorce. Your attorney is the one that will help you with your custody rights for your children. They will be looking out for your property, and either helping with increasing or decreasing your child support.

If you pick the wrong divorce attorney you could spend a long time just making up for the losses that could have been prevented. If you do it right and pick a good lawyer he or she will end up saving you thousands over the course of just a few years. It can be stressful selecting the right attorney, but it can be done.

You will need to answer a few questions before you can select the perfect attorney. So what's it going to be? Is your divorce going to be meditated and peaceful? Will you have to do some heavy negotiating? Or, will you need to take the gloves off and start kicking rear ends? Don't forget, just like doctors, divorce attorneys specialize in different types of divorces. You'll need to find one that fits your case.

All righty then, the first thing to do is find out about some attorneys that your friends have used in the past. Now, today, about 1 in 2 marriages end in a divorce so you know people that have been divorced. So ask them about their process and how their attorney preformed for them. Find out from them how they went about finding a good divorce attorney.

Don't worry you'll get a lot of attorneys names from your friends. OK now that you have the names let's get High Tech with this process. If an attorney is worth his or her salt, they will have a website. Most will advertise on divorce portal websites, and most will have written an article or two that is published somewhere on the web. Hunt them up on the web. You'll be able to see what type of attorney they are, and how they approach a case just by reading what they have published

Now that you have done your "Due Diligent" you should have a list of 2 to 5 attorneys that you think you would be comfortable talking too. Call and set up an appointment. Some will charge you for consultation and some won't. If they are heavy with experience, then they are more likely to charge you for their time.

When you show up, be prepared. Bring a history of your marriage and the problem you now face. If any papers have been filed with the court, bring copies so that he can look them over. I hate to say this, but bring a couple of years of tax returns or at least a financial statement; they will need to look over financial information before they can answer your questions fairly.

Find out their charges; see how they operate their business. Will you be charged for phone calls, emails, or other needs? If this is a one man office, you may have to wait to get an answer, he will have other clients that have needs to be met also.

After you have gone through this process you will need to decide which divorce attorney feels right to you and that you believe will get you the results that you desire.
