In a divorce, there are rules that need to be followed. The divorce process requires a lot of work and precision, in this blog we will be going over certain local and state rules that surround divorces in Michigan.
Rules
When you hire your attorney they will know all the rules about a divorce, but it is still important to inform yourself on these kinds of cases so you know what is happening in your divorce. The first advice from Goldman and Associates is that if you are involved in litigation you’re going to need a lawyer. Litigation is the process of taking any legal actions which include a divorce. You need to listen to your lawyer’s advice and work with a professional who knows what they are doing. If you have a lawyer that doesn’t have any advice or offers poor results find a better one.
The second piece of advice is don’t do things on your own. If you don’t fully understand the law, doing your own divoce may lead you to trouble. If you say or do something out of line, the court may use that against you. Having a lawyer that is knowledgeable will lead you down the right path. Your lawyer is not your enemy, you hire a lawyer to get the help you need
The next rule of a divorce is to be careful what you post on social media. Reckless social media posts will likely be used against in family court. Furthermore, angry, aggressive, and disrespectful statements are likely to make the whole situation worse, and the relative anonymity of social media tends to exacerbate reckless social behavior. It is also important to exercise such caution for the sake of your children. Excessive or reckless posting about the family situation or your children could very easily undermine their privacy.
The last rule when it comes to Michigan divorces is to not bad mouth your ex. Your lawyer will tell you the same thing, if the judge hears you being rude or bad mouthing that will not help in your favor. If you want the results you desire then you need to be respectful and listen to your lawyer. Be specific and professional, the judge doesn’t want to hear the drama.
