What Should I Not Tell My Divorce Attorney?

Your divorce attorney has the responsibility to get you and your family the best outcome. Although you might be happy to share many secrets with your attorney, it will only hurt you in the long-term. Your attorney should be consulted if you are considering a collaborative divorce, or if you are involved in a contentious legal case. 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. The attorney should be able to answer all your questions with sensitivity and empathy. If your attorney seems to be losing patience and seems to be focusing too much on the costs of the divorce, you may want to find another divorce attorney.

Your divorce attorney will not be able to hear everything. You should not share 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. Your attorney will need all the facts, so it's best, to be honest, and open.

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. This should be discussed with your attorney so you can both work out the issue 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. 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 attorney will make sure the process goes smoothly.

You should never tell your attorney that you've had an affair. Your attorney will not be aware of the complications that come with an extramarital relationship. It could also lead to a lower settlement amount. 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. If your attorney suspects that you are cheating, it is best to be open with him/her.
