There may come a point in your marriage when a breakup is inevitable and if that happens a good divorce lawyer will be the first item on a list of things to do; some advice on what to look for is below:
Have successfully practiced this area of law for some time
Have the proper demeanor
Be reliable
Ideally your divorce attorney should be spending half their time dealing with divorce cases and preferably one who is a good mediator. It also follows that you feel comfortable with them and feel confident they will serve you well.
Adversarial attorneys will use the hammer to crack a walnut approach which often happens when these cases go to court whereas an attorney who specializes in mediation will take a much calmer approach. Preparation for both your divorce lawyer and yourself is important so when you contact them, make sure you know exactly what you intend to question them about.
Costs are always an issue so write down everything you want to ask and in a logical order always making sure there is an accurate record of times dates and the duration of conversations. As all costs relating to law and legal advice are costly, try not to visit them at the office unless absolutely necessary; this can be achieved by using the phone or mail.
An attorney does not come cheap so use them only for the purpose you hired them for, legal advice, they are not there as an emotional problem solver, there are other professionals who specialize in that area. Always keep to the facts of the case when you speak with your divorce lawyer, don't start complaining about you spouses actions unless you want your lawyer to take some legal action on your behalf.
Being in control of your own case and your own life is the single best thing you can do, so it is essential that you have a lawyer who can work on that basis. Tell them you want good advice and will rely on their experience, but that you expect to make decisions that concern the tone and strategy of the case. Let them know that copies of any correspondence relating to the case will need to be sent to you along with any other information and if you contact them, to reply as quickly as possible.
Instead of hiring a lawyer, it may be far more cost-effective to use the lawyer just for information or advice on specific subjects like a marital settlement because that may be all the legal help you will need. This means that a little research is necessary on your part but once you have completed this, it is much easier to contact a lawyer to ask them specific questions and how they see your case concluding. Some people only use a divorce lawyer to re-read and check a marital settlement they have drafted on their own but at least these people have the backup of using a lawyer if all else fails.

Attorney-lawyers
By: Slavco Stefanoski
The average lawyer salary is legendary. Trust me, us attorney lawyers make bank, and many of us have fun doing it as well. Nevertheless, you shouldn't become an attorney lawyer just for the money. You might be able to fake it for a few years, but in the long run it will burn you out. I have been a real estate attorney for about 20 years now, so I know what I'm talking about. I have seen some bright young stars who thought that they had the system beat come in and show dazzling performance the first few years, only to burn out after that. Going through law school costs so much money that you better be sure that you want to do it. Otherwise, I'd advise that you stay away from it.
If you do decide that law school is the right choice for you, it helps to narrow things down by thinking about what type of law you would like to practice. Many law school professors say that attorney lawyers need to be fully qualified before they can make career decisions, but there is a lot of information out there that even a laymen can tackle.
A lot of people get into law because of some profound effect that an attorney lawyer has had on their life. In my case, it was actually a malpractice attorney. My grandmother was very sick, and the doctors did not catch the condition even though it should have been obvious. A malpractice lawyer got her the money that she needed for her recuperation, as well as quite a substantial punitive damage award. It was at this point that I decided I wanted to spend my life practicing the legal arts.
You would be surprised how many attorney lawyers have similar stories. I didn't just dive into the legal field without checking first. I talked to a lot of attorney lawyers at different law firms, and all of the best ones – the ones who seemed most happy to be there – had good reasons for getting involved in their practices. The fact is that excitement is contagious. Attorney lawyers who are very passionate about their jobs inspire confidence in their clients. Ones who are there merely to make a buck are usually cast aside sooner or later. They may begin what seems to be a great legal career, but it will not last. With lawyer attorneys as with any other profession, it is crucial to love what you do.

What-is-the-universal-law-of-attraction
By: Rebecca Hanson
The Universal Law of Attraction states the following: We attract whatever we choose to give our attention to -- whether wanted or unwanted.
Most of the time, we attract by 'default' rather than by deliberate choice. We just sort of go through our day, focusing on problems that need to be solved or on things that did not feel good nor seem right. In so doing, we are actually creating more problems, more of what does not feel good and more of what does not seem right.
Think of yourself as a huge magnet. The kind that pulls metal to itself from afar off. It doesn't "try" to attract, it simply does attract. It is the same way for us. Whether or not we are trying to attract, we ARE doing so all the time. (Except when we are asleep.) And we attract the likeness of what we think about. If we are thinking about a lack of something, we are attracting more lack (scarcity). If we are thinking about something we love, we are attracting more of what we love and enjoy. I know it sounds incredibly simple, and it is.
We humans are actually very powerful attractors and we can use this wonderful, god-given power to attract more of what we want in life-simply by paying attention to where we place our thoughts and desires.
An old proverb just came to my mind: "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." Proverbs 23:7 It's interesting that the writer of this proverb says "thinks in his heart" because most of the time, we think that we think with our mind. However, it is truly from the heart where we do our thinking, our believing, our ' vibrating.'
It is from the heart that we attract. Picture your heart as a powerful magnet. The heart is the '"vibrator'" of all signals that attract.
Think of a radio. It has many different stations. To tune into a station you dial a specific frequency. As soon as we turn our attention to something (dialed its frequency) it begins its journey to us.
To be rid of something you do not want in your life, simply tune in to a different vibration (frequency or radio station) to something that you do want.
I see the art of Deliberate Attraction as consisting of three parts:
1. Getting very clear about what it is I am wanting.
2. Raising my vibration until it matches what I want.
3. Allowing what I want to come to me.
We have the opportunity to gain clarity in knowing precisely what we want, through the many "contrasts'" that life offers us. The key to successfully using contrast is to observe it briefly and use it to help you decided what you do want. This takes a little practice, since our habit is to talk about, tell others about and focus on what we did not like.
It is usually the third part that trips me up. I have held onto some self-limiting beliefs for a very long time, so long that I no longer recognize them, yet they are still vibrating below the surface, canceling out what I am wanting.
My work is to let go of all resistance and believe that what I am wanting will come to me -- simply because I want it.
