Divorce - How the Divorce Experience of Your Family and Friends Can Hurt You

<h1>Divorce - How the Divorce Experience of Your Family and Friends Can Hurt You</h1>Author: <a title="Vivian Rodriguez" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/vivian-rodriguez/33103.htm">Vivian Rodriguez</a> Your friends and family want you to win your divorce case.  But, sometimes, in trying to help you, they can actually hurt you. Much of the advice you receive from friends and family is good when it comes to common sense approaches.  But when it comes to particular results under family law, their advice is off because they have no idea why their individual case ended with a certain result.  And you, on the other hand, not having participated in their case to the same extent as they did, have no idea whether your situation is exactly the same as theirs, and you should end with same result. If you don't have an attorney, you need to find out about the process of divorce in court.  There are two things that will affect your case.  One is the procedure for the case while in court, things like what you need to file, applicable time deadlines for documents, getting the judge to hear you on a particular question, setting your divorce for trial, etc.; the list is long.  The other thing that will affect your case is the law applicable to your fact situation, including the law for family and the law as to evidence.  If you're not hiring a lawyer, then  you need to know where to find it and what to do with it. Following the advice of friends and family for legal issues without you, yourself, becoming informed is dangerous--there are questions in court that, once decided, cannot be reversed.  Your divorce is as unique as you and your spouse are, and the issues involved can be described as questions of child support, property, alimony or whatever; but the solution will be different.  For example, on child support, you may have more children, or either or both of you may make more money than your friends did. These two factors-income and number of children- that will directly affect the amount of child support to be paid, and which will very likely be a different amount than is paid or received by one of your friends or family members. I am not suggesting that you need a lawyer for your divorce.  But because you may decide you cannot afford a lawyer, you need to acquire information to help give you a chance to accomplish what you want as best as possible. Friends and family can give you good advice, but they may not be qualified to provide you legal advice unless they are lawyers who can tell you adequately about family law as it applies to your case.

Your friends and family want you to win your divorce case. But, sometimes, in trying to help you, they can actually hurt you.

Much of the advice you receive from friends and family is good when it comes to common sense approaches. But when it comes to particular results under family law, their advice is off because they have no idea why their individual case ended with a certain result.

And you, on the other hand, not having participated in their case to the same extent as they did, have no idea whether your situation is exactly the same as theirs, and you should end with same result.

If you don't have an attorney, you need to find out about the process of divorce in court. There are two things that will affect your case. One is the procedure for the case while in court, things like what you need to file, applicable time deadlines for documents, getting the judge to hear you on a particular question, setting your divorce for trial, etc.; the list is long.

The other thing that will affect your case is the law applicable to your fact situation, including the law for family and the law as to evidence. If you're not hiring a lawyer, then you need to know where to find it and what to do with it.

Following the advice of friends and family for legal issues without you, yourself, becoming informed is dangerous--there are questions in court that, once decided, cannot be reversed. Your divorce is as unique as you and your spouse are, and the issues involved can be described as questions of child support, property, alimony or whatever; but the solution will be different.

For example, on child support, you may have more children, or either or both of you may make more money than your friends did.
