Just one simple question…
What a lawyer says matters. Not that it’s more important than what your Doctor or Pastor says, but if a lawyer is wrong you and he/she may get in trouble. Lots of trouble.
Often I am asked “Can you answer just one simple question?” The problem is the knowledge and information necessary makes neither simple nor just one question. For example, “Will I have to pay Alimony?”
To Answer that with even a remote chance of “getting it right,” one needs to know;
- What do you do?
- What does your spouse do?
- Respective incomes?
- Earning Capacities?
- Education?
- How long since you’ve last worked?
- How long since she’s last worked?
- Are there minor children in the home?
- What age?
- How long have you been married?
- Marital fault?
- How much is the marital estate worth?
- Is it liquid?
- How much is the separate estate worth?
- What else is the spouse receiving?
