A person should always remember this point when considering a lawyer to handle their divorce proceedings. The lawyers are in this field for the money! It's a no-brainer!

A little advice for someone who is watching television late at night and see a lawyer that advertises himself or his company on different channels while you are channel surfing or even the ones that you are always hearing about on a radio station that you always listen tostay away from these guys! You are better off hiring "my cousin Vinnie" if you know what I mean! So, here are a few tips and tricks that you should put into practice while you are on your journey of trying to find the best lawyer for you:

1) For any correspondence that you are going to be receiving and which you want to remain private then get yourself a post office box.

2) It is a wise move if you keep any financial and business records in a safe location that neither your wife (soon to be ex) and her lawyers can get to them.

3) Ensure that your kids (if you have any) know that you are not leaving them and that the divorce has nothing at all to do with them.

4) Stop all of your credit cards and also close any joint accounts that you may have with your wife, she will be upset no doubt but you must do what you have to do.

5) Unless you do not need to don't spend money. This will help to bring down your living costs and may well help to lower any payments that you need to make.
