What Is Important For Your Clients To Know And Be Aware Of As Their Case Is Going Through The Trial Process?
It is crucial to provide clients with an estimate of the potential costs involved. This will allow them to make an informed decision about whether they wish to proceed with a trial or explore alternative options.
In addition, it is important for clients to understand the factors the court will consider in their case. To this end, factor charts on asset distribution, maintenance, child support variance, and child custody should be provided. These charts outline the various factors that will be considered by the court and enable clients to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of their case.
Furthermore, it is essential for clients to be actively involved in the preparation process for trial. You can do this by filling out the factor charts and event timeline, which will result in a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of your case.
Do You Generally Prepare All Divorce And Other Family Law Cases As Though They Are Going To Go To Trial From The Start?
Each family law case is unique and requires a tailored approach. For example, if a client retains legal services for an uncontested case, the preparation approach will differ from that of a contested case. In the latter scenario, where the client anticipates that the case is likely to go to trial, a thorough preparation approach is necessary to ensure that the client is well-equipped for the possibility of a trial.
In summary, a nuanced approach is necessary for each case, which takes into account the unique circumstances of the case and the needs and goals of the client. A commitment to working closely with clients to ensure they are well-informed and well-prepared throughout the trial process is essential.
