Meeting an attorney

“I have a consult booked and I don’t know what to ask.”

The meter starts the moment you sit down, and most people spend it telling the story. Walk in with the questions that tell you whether this is the right attorney, like “Have you ever consulted with my spouse?” and “Who will actually be working on my case day to day?”

The Consult Checklist20 questions to ask before you hire a family law attorney, and what to listen for in each answer.

The case has started

“There’s a hearing on the calendar and I have nothing on paper.”

The temporary order decides who has the kids, who stays in the house and who pays what, for months. Most people walk into it with a schedule and nothing else. Walk in with a full draft: the money, the status quo, the communication rules and the consequences, all written down.

Temporary Orders CompleteFoundations plus all four temporary order templates: joint 50/50, sole physical, split and nesting. Read them side by side, keep the one that fits.
