Should a man have a female divorce attorney?
The sex of your attorney may not matter to a judge, nor affect their skill in helping you reach settlement. That said, you may feel more comfortable working with an attorney of one sex or the other, and that’s perfectly fine. Choosing a divorce attorney is a very personal decision.
Can you fire your divorce attorney?
Sure, you can fire your divorce lawyer. You can do it just about any time and for any reason whatsoever. The best way to discharge your lawyer is in writing, either by email or by letter. You simply need to state that the representation isn’t working out, and that the lawyer should withdraw from the case.
What happens if my husband refuses to sign divorce papers?
If you properly served the divorce petition and your spouse filed an uncontested response, but won’t sign off on the final divorce papers, courts in some states may allow the case to proceed as though it’s uncontested. You may wait to be assigned a court appearance date.
Are divorce settlements final?
In most cases, when two spouses reach an agreement on the division of property, it ultimately becomes part of the final divorce decree. But there’s no guarantee that the judge in your case is going to accept the property split proposed by you both. That’s because the judge has the final say on the terms of the divorce.
