A Guide to an Amicable Divorce

When I got divorced, it went off without a hitch. When my friends heard how easy it was, they were shocked. None of the people they knew had experienced the same easy separation I had. It was not problems with their spouses that was the issue. It was the attorneys. After talking to a few more people and my divorce attorney, I created this blog. I want to help others who are going through the divorce process understand their options. I also want people to realize that there are good attorneys who are committed to getting what is best for their clients.

Tip #2: Take notes

Keeping a journal of all the things that happen from the time of the wreck to the current date is sure to be helpful in your case. You can make a note of any medical visits you must have and any types of procedures you've had to pay for because of the accident.

Additionally, if you have required medication due to your injury, you will want to be sure to list these. Taking time to be mindful of what occurs each day while working to recover is sure to be ideal.

Tip #3: Be prepared

One of the essential parts of civil litigation is the discovery stage. This is when you will have the chance to provide the necessary details and proof of the injuries you incurred due to the auto collision. 

Listed below are the various stages of discovery and things you should be prepared to answer:

  1. Written interrogatories – You will need to respond to a series of questions that will be given to you.
  2. Requests for admission statements – It's important to either admit or deny certain things to help shorten the time of your case in court.
  3. Deposition – This is a meeting where you'll meet with the attorney for the other side.
  4. Request for production documents – The best time to provide written a proof to build your case is now.
