For any questions or legal advice it is best to hire a lawyer to advise us before taking the plunge, but there comes a time when his presence is indispensable. In many cases it is not mandatory, but without the assistance of an attorney can make mistakes due to ignorance of the law which can then get out expensive.

In civil proceedings which shall not exceed EUR 901.52 may be waived counsel and the prosecutor in trials verbal and payment procedures. Nor is indispensable if you only intend to request urgent action prior to trial, even if use is made of the lawyer will have to inform the court.

Industrial processes is not necessary the presence of an attorney if at first instance in the labor court.

In a criminal trial must have an attorney, except in the case of crimes of faults.

If this is a contentious-administrative process can also dispense with the attorney if at first instance but, as in previous cases, if you go to the High Court or the High Court itself to be reckoned with their services.

In any case, remember that you can request a lawyer at the Bar in your city if you meet the requirements of the law to welcome you to the service.

6. Has a cost-benefit analysis. In divorce, it is easy to get into the emotion and make all your decisions from the web. This is a mistake though, spending some time analyzing your case from a logical point of view of costs and benefits can pay dividends. Keep your eyes on the ball and stay focused on getting the divorce finished so you can go with your life. It is not unusual for the separation of the people to do things like spend $ 500 to $ 100 get a microwave. Do not. If you can not see a clear link between your activities and achieving a final settlement of your case, then do not take that action.

7. Know your priorities. Many people go through a divorce find that their priorities change throughout the process. The things they thought were important when they began the process are not necessarily the same things that are important in the conclusion. It is important that your priorities regularly with your lawyer or on your own, so you are always aware of the things that matter most to you. Staying on top of your priorities, you can inform your lawyer and a better use of the divorce process to obtain the results that your care most passionately about.

8. Do be flexible. One of the most common mistakes people make when they begin a divorce is to decide that they absolutely, positively need A, B and C, and nothing else will suffice. Remaining flexible in the divorce process allows you to critically and impartially analyze all issues as they arise. This is particularly true for people who have their priorities throughout the process (see # 7 above). Knowing what you want, and flexible in your approach to obtain, can often mean the difference between success and frustration.

Here’s how:

1. Not hiring the wrong lawyer. The lawyer you hire makes a huge difference. Use your common sense in the selection. Be observant, ask questions and not hire someone if you are not satisfied with your interaction with him or her. Here are a few things to consider in a first meeting with a lawyer:
1) the lawyer have a telephone number? You can assume that if you are using a secretary or paralegal to your lawyer, you will have a harder time reaching him or her,
2) only for a cluttered desk, where the lawyer is disorganized you can assume your case will be disorganized. If you see other clients’ documents sitting in the public view, you know that your documents will soon be meeting in public in the same manner,
3) ensure that a lawyer clint a written agreement that ensures that your costs, duties and obligations,
4) no rent from the dabbler – someone who thinks a traffic ticket case in the morning, a real estate closing in the afternoon and squeezes your case in somewhere in the middle, and divorce is complicated enough that you hire someone it works all day, every day, and
5), not hiring a lawyer to take on more business than they can handle, ask the lawyer what his or her average to treat. Dealing with more than 15 or 20 cases at one time causes most lawyers to be overwhelmed and inefficint. Thinking about these issues when in with a lawyer for the first time will help you make the right choice.

2. Do not allow a judge decide for you. The minute you (or your spouse) go to court and ask a judge to decide your divorce for you, give you almost all the control you have over the process. If you want to keep your money instead of giving to a lawyer, and if you want to keep control over your life, not litigate. Go to court only as a last resort, only when all else fails.
