My wife and I want a Separation Agreement but we want to do it together. Should I bring her to the consultation?
Both partners can attend a consultation appointment if they want, but the lawyer can then only give them legal information, as opposed to advice, and cannot represent either of them as the case moves forward. They will each need to see a lawyer in a different law office to sign documents or go to court. For this reason, it’s usually best to have just one spouse attend.
Can I bring a friend to the consultation?
Yes, a friend or relative can attend if you wish.
My twelve year old child has some thoughts on the custody case. Can I bring them to the consultation?
No, for a variety of reasons children should not attend a family law consultation that in any way involves them.
