Factors to Consider When Hiring a Matrimonial
Attorney
  • If you have a family, you might need an attorney
    at some point in life. Hiring a family lawyer
    will help you handle a lot of issues in your
    family. Before you hire one, there are things
    that you need to consider. These are

5
Trust Worthy
  • Ensure that you hire a matrimonial attorney whom
    you can trust and talk to confidently. You cant
    hire someone you arent confident to work with.
    Therefore ensure you have a one on one talk to
    determine if you can get along with your lawyer

6
Availability
  • Hire an easily accessible lawyer. A family
    lawyer should be highly responsive and return
    calls to you every time. Ask your lawyer is he
    can be readily available when needed. He should
    also be capable of meeting your needs.

7
Easy to Understand
  • A good lawyer will explain everything to you in
    detail until you understand completely. Law terms
    are hard to understand for those who havent gone
    through law schools or had any case to involve a
    lawyer. Your lawyer should highlight to you the
    applicable law and that you need to understand
    beforehand.

8
Budget
  • Choose an attorney whose fee lie on your budget.
    You dont want to spend all your earnings on
    lawyers, right? Ask about the costs and the terms
    of his services too before you sign any contract
    with him.

9
Seek a Rich Attorney
  • If you want a good family lawyer, consider one
    who has a sophisticated facility and who is rich
    too. A rich attorney has a firm where he has his
    associates who can stand in his place just in
    case you need help fast. He should also have
    additional resources like paralegals and
    secretaries.

10
Experience
  • Extensive experience in matrimonial law is very
    important. Dont hire someone who has no
    experience because it might greatly cost you. Be
    sure to sign a contract with an attorney who is
    specialized as a matrimonial attorney to avoid
    being on the losing end. You have the right to
    ask the lawyer about his experience and previous
    cases.

11
The Duties of a Matrimonial Attorney
  • A matrimonial attorney handles every case
    concerning your family from your spouse to your
    children. Having one is very important because
    you won't have to go to courts defenseless. These
    attorneys also help with mediation in case you
    fall out with your family members. Below are the
    functions of a family lawyer

12
Settlement of Matrimonial Cases
  • Settling a case means simply coming to the end
    of a case and moving on to other things. A lawyer
    settles his client by finding out his clients
    expectations before negotiating with the opposing
    party. A good matrimonial lawyer should have the
    ability to convince both parties on reasonable
    settlement probabilities.

13
Marriage Counseling
  • A family lawyer might be required to take up the
    position of counseling and even go as further as
    reconciling married partners. A matrimonial
    attorney first explores if the parties have
    thought about reconciliation or separation. The
    lawyer plays a role in establishing temporary
    agreements during the period of counseling.

14
Settling Custody Disputes
  • Matrimony has several cases, but custody cases
    are the most crucial and delicate of them all not
    forgetting troublesome. This is because there are
    innocent minor children involved. Marital wars
    between spouses seem to affect the children, the
    most no matter how intelligent their parents seem
    to be. A family lawyer tries their best to settle
    these cases based on the best interest of the
    children.
  • The lawyer interviews both parties and through
    that interview, he/she will be able to know if
    the intention of the party seeking custody is
    good and if he is capable of handling the kids. A
    family lawyer prevents violation of court orders
    and concerning the custody of the children and
    visitation agreements.

15
Dual Representation
  • A family lawyer is responsible for representing
    both parties when asked to. This often happens
    when the parties want to arrange a settlement
    agreement. The parties might agree to settle
    without involving the lawyer and then ask the
    lawyer to prepare a draft a contract of their
    agreement.
  • Other functions include preparing and reviewing
    a will, representing the family in court
    proceedings and protection of the familys
    property through legal means.

16
Conclusion
  • The role of a matrimonial attorney is very
    broad, and it requires a lot of expertise to be
    able to dispense their duties without going
    against their legal practice. For a lawyer to
    perform well, he must be able to understand the
    economic and emotional state of the client, which
    will determine the legal presentation. A goal of
    a family lawyer is to attain a fair and practical
    settlement.
