This handbook will serve as a guide to help in the divorce process and the financial hurdles you may be faced with. This means that you must be involved, to ensure you reach the ideal outcome. You might need a lawyer and financial advice to assist you through the divorce steps and procedures. People believe lawyers will protect them from family law litigation, but this is not always the case. You owe it to yourself (and to any children you may have) to hire the best lawyer you can find within your budget. The system often lacks safeguards to make sure that all necessary legal work is for the client's best interest. Even when a lawyer spends many hours on your case, they are not always likely to advance the matter to assist you in the best manner. We hope this book will help you with your expectations when dealing with the legal fraternity and financial system. In doing so, you will avoid costly mistakes and make sure a satisfactory outcome.
