5 important reasons to make a pre separation consultation 1. The consequences of leaving any relationship are huge. For example, there are many reasons to stay in the home until childcare and property matters are sorted 2. A lawyer can advise you on your rights and options, including estimated cost and timeframe. 3. Treat the meeting like a health check, it is one off and information gathering. Ask for resources and tools-you may want a referral to a counselor or another professional. Or know what might happen to your rights to your children. 4. The legal process can be overwhelming; if the lawyer has done their job and is the right one for you, you will likely feel relieved and a lot more informed after the meeting. 5. Come to the lawyer with a list of questions. How can you protect yourself now for the future? Do you have join accounts? Do you know the financial details of the other party? Ask the what if questions. Clients have had a pre separation consultation feel more prepared for events that may arise.
