When it comes to divorce, the natural referent is the lawyer. Once the decision to separate is made, some people will immediately start looking for a law firm that will defend their interests against the one that will advise their future ex-spouse. But is this the best way to do it?
When to look for a divorce lawyer? From our point of view, there is no ideal time to find a lawyer, but it is important to communicate with your future ex before starting any official procedure.
If the dialogue between you and your spouse is totally broken, try to calm down the exchanges and to tackle the difficult subjects. A family mediator or a therapist would certainly be beneficial for many couples before going to the law offices.
In our accompaniments, we have noticed that once a couple is followed for the emotional aspects of the breakup, the material and logistical elements of the separation are much less subject to conflicts and settling of scores.
All of this is to encourage you to take a step back from your personal context before jumping into the hazards of the divorce process itself.
The more you prepare the multiple aspects of your separation, the less you will need to negotiate between the lawyers who will represent you. Regardless of the type of divorce you choose or undergo, each of you will have to be advised by his or her own lawyer, who will work in the interest of his or her client, and therefore in your interest.
The lawyers in Dubai will quickly discuss your case and bring back to you the elements under discussion as they go along. Consequently, it is perfectly logical that a file in which there are few subjects of dissension between the spouses will be managed much more quickly and at a lower cost than a contentious divorce where disagreements multiply.
It can never be said enough, the right time to start a divorce procedure is when you are at the maximum of your capacities to agree on the decisions to be taken.
For some, it will be simple and the agreements will be quickly found then formalized by the lawyers, generally in an amicable divorce agreement, registered before a notary (procedure of divorce in Dubai by mutual consent without a judge).
For others, it will take more time, sometimes long and tedious negotiations, family mediation will eventually be considered, recourse to a notary’s office in order to make progress on the patrimonial elements of the discord, a therapeutic follow-up to calm the general context and to favor communication… so many conciliation levers likely to help the couple not to get bogged down in their divorce procedure.
If you think that you have done everything possible to find a middle ground and that despite mutual efforts, the situation is stagnating, it is indeed high time to find a good lawyer capable of defending your interests.
The price of a lawyer in a divorce in Dubai Some people think that the successive reforms of the divorce have pushed the law firms to delay and sometimes even to conflict the procedures. According to them, it is not in the interest of the lawyers that the divorce goes quickly and well, the longer it takes and the more subjects of discord there will be, the higher will be the overall bill of their fees.
