The Lawyer Experience

Did you know that you could find a lawyers online? Of course you did. After all you can find just about anything online. It’s funny because I remember the first time I ever needed a lawyer and the experience I had with the whole process.

When we bought our house I didn’t find the lawyer or anything. The real estate agent worked with one regularly and suggested him so that is who we ended up using. It was a simple process and the lawyer was so nice. I thought every experience with them would be like that.

That was until I had to find a a divorce lawyer. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. I also talked with a couple of lawyers that were less than what I hoped for. I didn’t go into my search all willy nilly. I did my research. I spend a week researching the internet. Following the click here link or the advice to check out this website. That resulted in my having some names and plenty of information on several lawyers.

It was one of the worst experiences of my life. Some of these people have no morals at all. I thought that a lot of the way your see them in television and the movies was just made up but trust me they were ruthless. The biggest thing was the way many of them told how they were to get as much as they could from my ex.

Now I know that for some this is the way to go. All I wanted was to get out of the marriage legally by the time I filed for divorce. He had already left me with more debt than I knew how to pay, four children that needed me, and self-esteem that was shattered. I didn’t want anything but the children from him.

I knew that asking for any sort of money beyond child support (that he doesn’t pay now) he would just quit working. It’s funny how looking back I can see how lazy he was at times but I couldn’t see when we were together. I just wanted a lawyer that would do what I wanted them to do. Nothing less.

It took me a few tries before I found the lawyer I used. He was sympathetic and understood that I didn’t want or need anything extra. I just wanted the divorce filed and to move forward. I needed to move forward for myself as well as for my kids.

The lawyer I used told me everything that I could expect. That he would ask for a reasonable amount of child support but that there was no guarantee that it was the amount the judge would set. There were factors that had to be figured in and since I didn’t know if my ex was still working I couldn’t say what he was making.

In the end, because I did the research and met with several lawyers as well as the fact that I wouldn’t settle for less than what I wanted in lawyer things went smoothly. As smoothly as a divorce could go. I didn’t yell and scream or even say I wanted my share. When asked I told the judge I just wanted out.
