After you have hired your matrimonial attorney, get ready to have a long, intense relationship with the person who will be your closest ally in your battle for justice against your spouse. You will be putting all your trust and faith into this person, once a stranger, but now piloting your case against the person who was once your lover.
This will no doubt be your first rebound relationship. Your divorce lawyer, and no one else, will be your most effective support during the separation and divorce process. Your relationship with your matrimonial attorney can be smooth or rocky, close or business-like. You might come to think of your attorney as your confessor, therapist, Sir Galahad, or Amazon-woman.
But if you are to make it through the divorce, you must banish these notions from your mind. Instead, it is to your advantage to learn (quickly) how to utilize your attorney in the most effective, cost-efficient way possible.
