Obtaining Help with Divorce Planning for Men


Most people think of divorce in terms of either women or both men and women, but there is actually a need for divorce planning for men. There are different needs for men and women, so it’s a good idea to choose a lawyer who focuses on the divorce needs of men.

Choosing a Divorce Lawyer

One of the most important things you want to do is choose a divorce law firm. Do not make the mistake of thinking any family lawyer can do the job—one of my co-workers got burned badly by his ex-wife because he hired a lawyer that had no knowledge of divorce law even though he had been practicing family law for many years. There are several things that are important when choosing a divorce lawyer such as:
  • The amount of experience in litigating divorce and all the ancillaries connected to the action
  • Should be experienced in the law as it pertains to child support, child custody, visitation, property division and visitation
  • The lawyer you choose should have a competitive rate within the region where he or she is located. Never choose a lawyer based on the fee structure alone but be careful of lawyers that charge a much higher fee than other lawyers in the same area.
  • The reputation of the lawyer you choose
  • Location of the law office in proximity to your home or office
  • Availability of the lawyer when you need advice by telephone or in person
There may be other things you find of importance, but these are the most important ones overall. For more information about choosing a divorce lawyer see our website at Legal-Yogi.com.


Planning a Divorce for Men

It’s important for men to choose the right lawyer and learn how to plan a divorce for men. The needs of men and women are different and as such you need a divorce lawyer that caters to those specific needs. There are things that are of more importance to women than men, especially issues such as property division, child support and alimony or spousal support.

The Effect of Divorce on Military Pensions

Men or women who are retired from the military face special problems if they choose to divorce. The combination of a military pension and divorce special provisions enter the picture and may even require the services of a military lawyer who is more experienced in matters that relate to government pensions. Another option is to locate a civilian lawyer who has experience handling divorces for clients who are receiving a military pension. In addition to pension other benefits may come into the picture such as health insurance, life insurance and even commissary privileges.
