Don’t Sign That Divorce…Yet

Home » family

Utah Divorce AttorneyI often meet with people who come in for a free consultation after they have already signed an agreement for their divorce. This is usually the first time they have consulted with an attorney.

Never let your friends or family sign a stipulation for their divorce without FIRST consulting with a qualified attorney. Our office make sure to be available for consultations within a week, and we offer them for free.

There is no reason why anyone should sign an agreement without consulting an attorney.

I understand that going through a divorce is difficult. I have watched for the past seven years as people wrestle with the difficult emotions that come with a divorce. The idea of facing that kind of emotion can be daunting.

However, I have also seen the faces of many people who realize that they signed a bad deal. The ones who learn that it will cost twice as much to undo the bad deal (if that is even possible) than if they had just consulted with an attorney at the outset.

To undo a bad agreement an attorney is limited by the law to very specific things. If the facts leading up to your signature do not meet specific criteria there can be very few options, if any, to undo the agreement. Before you, your family member, or friend signs their divorce, make sure they call us.

I have noticed that many of the people who come to my office for a free consultation want to know how quickly and how inexpensively we can complete their divorce. This is a difficult question because a fast settlement takes an agreement from both sides of the divorce, and we can only influence our side. However, in most cases where both parties are reasonable, going to mediation is the fastest and most cost effective way to resolve a divorce.

Mediation is a meeting where the parties go with their attorneys, and a hired mediator goes between the parties and attempts to help them reach a resolution that both people are comfortable with. Often the cost of the mediator is equally divided between the parties, and the mediator is mutually agreed on.

The reason mediation is the fastest and most cost effective way to resolve a divorce is because the parties remain in control of the final order. They get to decide what things they are willing to give on, and which they really want. Often the parties want different things (hence the divorce) which makes reaching an agreement pretty straight forward. It also allows the parties to reach an agreement without having to have their dirty laundry paraded through the courts.

The reason mediation is more cost effective is because mediation usually lasts only a few hours. The cost of paying for half the mediator bill and your attorney for a few hours is much lower that court time. Preparing for one hearing, or worse, even a one-day trial, requires as much as two entire days of preparation, plus the time at the hearing or trial. The client ends up paying four or five times as much to go to court as opposed to a couple hours of work in mediation.

At Ammon Nelson Law, PLLC your family is our priority. We want you to be happy with the outcome of your divorce or custody matter. We are happy to be as aggressive or as diplomatic as necessary to help you reach your legal goals.  At the same time, we understand that the less you spend on your divorce in legal fees, the more money you will have to reestablish and support your family. That is why we work closely with our clients to make sure each action taken during the legal process has a specific purpose.  If you are considering a divorce or custody action, please call us for a free consultation so we can discuss your options.
