What does a lawyer do in a divorce?

Ultimately, divorce lawyers provide the legal services required to facilitate separation. Every divorce is unique, so a lawyer’s role will vary in each case. If a couple has community assets or debt, then a divorce lawyer ensure they are properly divided. If you and your spouse have children, then your divorce lawyer will help you lay out a parenting plan and calculate child support. During divorce, your lawyer will help you to gather all relevant documentation and evidence, through interrogatories, subpoenas and connections with industry experts. They will also ensure that all applicable paperwork is completed correctly and submitted to court at the appropriate time.  Your divorce lawyer will promote your best interests during what can be a difficult, overwhelming, and emotional process.
