Are you debating whether or not you require the services of a family lawyer? Perhaps you’re going through a separation, or your former spouse has threatened to take the kids during the holidays. Or maybe you just want to make sure you’re on the right track and avoid typical mistakes. There were more than 275,000 active family law cases in 10 Canadian provinces, in 2020. In any case, if you’ve decided to speak with a family law professional, let’s explore what you can expect when you reach out to a family lawyer.
Preparation
Before having the actual legal consultation, you should make sure everything is in order. Consider the consultation’s objectives. Are you searching for general advice, or do you require assistance with a particular task?
Next, consider how you’d like to deal with the lawyer and how much communication you would like to have. Are you the kind of person that needs consistent updates, or are you happy with the lawyer simply informing you of the result via email? Each legal team will have its own way of working, and knowing your requirements will enable them to provide better legal services. Nonetheless, in some cases, a gentler approach is required, while in others, a more proactive strategy can work.
Knowledge and Experience
When contacting family lawyers, expect to encounter several kinds of professionals with various types of experiences. While some skills may be common, every lawyer will have their own unique skill sets, which will set them apart. Find a legal consultant that has worked on cases similar to yours, so they can develop a strong strategy for your legal matter.
Possible Outcomes
A reliable lawyer will never promise you the world. So, don’t expect them to agree to every demand. For example, if you’re asking for sole custody, then be prepared to receive other possible outcomes. While some cases are straightforward, such as cordial child custody agreements, legal matters can still take up to two years to resolve.
