My sister and her husband were attempting to do a mediated divorce (with no attorneys) but the husband has decided to make it really difficult (doesn’t want to pay child support, moved out of the house but then moved back in). Becase of this my sister has retained a divorce lawyer. Is she obligated to let him know that he now has a lawyer?

I live in Minneapolis, MN and am in need of a divorce lawyer that doesn’t require a retainer. I don’t have much $ and want someone that will work with me in responding to a summons and petition and making changes in what my husband in requesting. He owns a home and 401K and is asking for all equity on the home and asking he keep the truck. I know I’m entitled to a portion of the equity acquired on the home, and half of his 401K, but don’t have any $ for a lawyer right now, and I only have 30 days to respond to the summons and petition. What do I do?

Im going to law school and im looking into divorce as my specialty. However Ive read in what few publications i could find on the subject that many schools put divorce as a back burner field and some are trying to weed out the programs that support it as a specialty. apparently it is believed that Divorce lawyers are not the best or brightest of lawyers…. So here’s my questions

1.) What are the best law schools for an up and coming divorce Lawyer?

2.) Why is Divorce looked down upon by other lawyers like personal injury lawyers are?

3.) Where are some of the best places in the U.S. to practice Divorce Law… (National average is approx. 50% of marriages end in divorce and many dont last past twoYears anymore, that’s last I looked so Im sure some one will ream me on the figures… But with those numbers suppose anywhere is good.)

Any other advice on the field from people with experience would be great. I know I want to be a lawyer, I dont really wanna do anything else so persuasion against it or law school would be futile. I realize some lawyers are broke… But so are some doctors and small countries too…

If it helps at all I’m thinking of practicing in Oregon, as it seems to be a place I would like…minus the liberal freaky hippies and the extreme GOP’s there…I’m not positive though…

I know that divorce for men is not easy. My partner and I are done, so how do I leave my ex without spending all my money on a divorce lawyer? Is there a way to get a free divorce? Any divorce advice that will help me win my divorce is greatly appreciated.

I would like one that comes well recommended, but have no one that I know that can provide a personal recommendation. I want to make sure that I have one with a good reputation & that will get things done right & professionally & that gets things done- I don’t want this dragging out forever. Looking in the yellow pages, there are SO many. I’ve heard divorce lawyer horror stories & don’t know where to start.
Is there a particular website I should go to look?
And I don’t know anything about ‘legal aid’.
Please expand on your answers, I really am starting from square one, & know nothing about this at all & need all the help I can get.
And, please let me stress again the fact that I know no one that can give me a personal recommendation - I’ve already checked with the people that I trust that are divorced (and there aren’t that many of them, believe it or not) or that knew of someone who was recently divorced, & they didn’t like their lawyers & did not recommend them. I’m not looking for a lawyer that is going to try to take my ex for everything. And I know my ex is going to try to take me for everything. I just want it done simply, & peaceably, & quickly- the least trouble possible, so that we can move on from this.
Sorry, I need to clarify on the additional details directly above. What i meant to say is that I am not looking to take my ex for everything, and I know that he is also NOT going to try to take me for everything. (Made a typo in the one prior, sorry)
For all those that took the time to read my whole question & details & input real answers, thanks so much. I know I’ll be able to use a lot of the advice. And this is my first question here on these matters, so, again, I really appreciate your assistance.
Directly for FEYSUNNY- As all others that answered already realized, a general question such as ‘How to find a good divorce lawyer" does not require a state-specific answer. I didn’t ask about divorce LAWS, which would require such details. Next time you may want to take the time to pay attention BEFORE you challenge someone else’s IQ, lol. Have a great day!
