PART II: YOUR DIVORCE--ONE STEP AT A TIME
STEP ONE - CHOOSING A LAWYER
A lawyer cannot represent both a husband and wife in a
divorce case. Even if you and your spouse agree now about everything, problems
can come up later on. Some people may tell you that they only used one lawyer for
their divorce, but even in those situations the lawyer was actually
representing one spouse and the other spouse did not have an attorney. Your
spouse may suggest that it would be cheaper to let one lawyer handle the
divorce for both of you. If you do choose to use only one lawyer, make sure he
or she is representing you. This means that on the papers filed with the court,
the lawyer is listed as your lawyer.
