Your initial divorce consultation typically involves discussing your situation, legal options, and next steps
The first meeting with a divorce lawyer is a crucial step where you’ll have a detailed discussion about your unique circumstances. A qualified family law attorney will guide you through several important aspects of your case.
- Review of your current situation, including marriage length, children, and specific concerns
- Discussion of your legal rights and obligations under Canadian family law
- Overview of the divorce process and potential timeline
- Explanation of important financial considerations and property division
- Assessment of child custody and support matters, if applicable
To make the most of your consultation, bring relevant documentation such as marriage certificates, financial statements, property records, and any existing legal documents. The lawyer will outline their fee structure and help you understand the next practical steps in your divorce journey.
