10 Tips for Choosing a Good Divorce Lawyer in Nepal
Marriage is a beautiful thing that happened in this world but with belief and respect for each other. When it becomes difficult for any couple to live with each other and the respect, belief, consent, and equality end and conflict occurs daily, it will be better for them to end up living separately and start a new life for the betterment of each other. Thence, for that, better counseling and consultation are necessary for any relationship to separate, and only a good divorce lawyer can settle the case and make those contradictory situations normal enough. All lawyers are the same, but every lawyer does not practice family law; therefore, clients must find a good divorce lawyer to settle their issues smoothly, clearly, and rapidly.
Here are some tips for choosing a good divorce lawyer in Nepal, which are as follows:
- Confidential
- A good divorce lawyer is one who keeps the case only to himself. Make his or her client aware of their rights and obligations. Prevents the spouse from siphoning or diverting assets.
- Family and child custody
- An experienced lawyer in divorce and family law will not make any unreasonable custody demands. He or she can refer the client to experts in counseling in other specialized areas for the child's custody and well-being of the child. A good divorce lawyer will always see for the best interest of the child.
- Sourcing and Further Research
- It is a tip to clients not to choose the first Divorce lawyer they find. It is advised to choose at least 3 to 4 lawyers from the initial search for further research such as: Check their biography such that: Knowledge, Communication, Negotiation, and Experience, etc., Check whether they have free Consultation, Check their access to resources, for instance, forensic appraisers, financial experts, etc.
- Always look for Red Flags
- The lawyer should adhere to a code of conduct and ethics. She or he should treat the client with respect, dignity, and attention. A good divorce lawyer should offer good pre-divorce counseling and also advice on managing the client's bank accounts, credit and debit cards, marital assets, child custody, and other financial matters. Always be careful of those lawyers who divulge other clients' confidential information and bad-mouth other lawyers.
- A good divorce lawyer is always emotionally intelligent and applies a systematic approach
- A divorce is going to happen due to disagreement between the partners; therefore, a divorce lawyer must have a cool mind to handle the issue and should be objective in handling the issues and analyzes the issues critically with the best solutions.
- A divorce lawyer must be able to manage time, be client-oriented, and listen to clients clearly.
- A good divorce lawyer should do better paperwork, and a single paper in a case is important; therefore, the client should seek the advice of a professional firm.
- Emphasis on mutual agreement
- A good divorce lawyer always assists in reaching mutual agreements on settlements of disputes. The money and time will be saved if the divorce is completed via mutual consent during the trial procedure.
- Property valuation skills
- The most important question after child custody is raised is property matters in divorce cases. A good lawyer must be able to locate the property of the client and the price of it and present the well-valuated property to the client's side with the best argument skills. The land must first be discovered and made frozen; if a property is not frozen, it will not be accepted.
- Budgeting and cost
- A good divorce lawyer will inform the client of the necessary budget for the case. A lawyer should always make clear to the client about his or her charges on an hourly rate or lump sum (fixed price), and if fixed price, is it pegged to a certain number of hours or what will happen if the case exceeds that number, then what will be the charge, Also, any retainer or upfront fees to be paid, any other costs for instance, statutory fees, and any hidden costs all should be cleared and transparent to the client.
- The Interlocutory Order
- It is important to request an interlocutory order after starting the divorce process. An interlocutory order may compel a spouse to pay a certain amount of money each week before the court resolves the issue of Child Support or Alimony. From this process, the lawyer will create a condition for the spouse and children not to suffer due to lack of finances during the trial proceedings, and an order prohibiting a child separated from the applicant could be issued too.
- A Focused and affordable divorce lawyer
- The ultimate goal in a divorce case is to get divorced; therefore, the lawyer should stay focused and not let emotions run rampant during the negotiations because the longer the divorce drags on, the more costly it is. Therefore, the lawyer must stay focused, and he or she must also be affordable because the more costly the case is, the more pain and sorrow will pile up. Thence, with a good lawyer, the client chooses the case to be completed at a reasonable cost.
- Hence, a good divorce lawyer is professional, experienced, responsive, attentive, and knowledgeable, who supports the client's basic philosophy towards divorce, always put the best interests of the child first, and whom clients trust to be worthy.
