Are you going through a divorce and wondering if you should hire a divorce lawyer? It is recommended that you consult with a lawyer, so you are able to make an informed decision. At our law firm, we offer free consultations and would love to have the opportunity to speak with you regarding your case!

Your finances, relationships, home, and other assets are normally brought into divorce cases. A separation agreement is imperative to protect your assets and your rights, and we will do everything we can to help you maintain your current quality of life. Here are the top 5 reasons you should retain a lawyer for your divorce:

1. Legislation

The law in Kentucky legislation is extensive and complicated; this is why lawyers put years into studying at law school. Clagett Law attorneys have dedicated 15+ years of their lives to education and have another 30+ years of experience representing individuals in cases just like yours.

Most individuals are not familiar with their rights and the protections they are entitled to as citizens. Our attorneys are readily available to discuss exactly how these rights could be fought for and protected.

Working with an attorney that prioritizes your needs is vital for your peace of mind.

2. It Saves You Money

A quality divorce lawyer may seem expensive, so how could it possibly save you money? A failed divorce case can cost you more than hiring an expert divorce attorney in the first place. The results of your case are directly connected to the amounts you will be required to pay for child and/or spousal support, how assets and debts are divided, and whether criminal issues or even a prison term are involved. If your goal is to increase the possibility of emerging with your funds intact, having knowledgeable legal representation is key to success.

3. Proper Legal Procedures

Lawyers know how to handle different aspects of legal procedures. They understand what the divorce process involves, which documents should be prepared and how to follow procedures. Being unfamiliar with these things, missing deadlines, and performing the wrong processes could ruin your divorce case. An experienced lawyer will certainly be able to ensure that it is handled appropriately and keep you on the best track.

4. Avoid Future Legal Obstacles

Consulting an attorney will enable you to sort out the fine details of a contract and stop legal challenges in the future. With a good divorce lawyer on your side, you will move systematically through the process as you strengthen your negotiations with your ex-spouse.

5. Not Allow Opposite Party to Take More Than Their Share

If you do not have an attorney, the opposing party will certainly be able to make use of your circumstance. Parties seeking maintenance that do not have a thorough understanding of the law rarely end up with the desired results when their ex-spouses have legal representatives. Without a qualified, professional, and experienced divorce attorney, your chances of successfully handling your divorce case are minimal.
