Divorce is a complex process, demanding not only emotional resilience but also a detailed understanding of the legal procedures involved. In Texas, the divorce process encompasses numerous steps, from filing a Petition for Divorce to finalizing the divorce with a Decree.
The family law attorney’s first step is to write the divorce decree using as enforceable language as possible. The second step is to determine whether any closing documents are needed to implement the terms of the divorce decree. If closing documents are needed, then the family law attorney’s third step is to determine what expertise is needed if the attorney wants the experience of a lawyer in another subject matter of the law to prepare specific documents.
Closing documents strongly impact one’s personal and financial future, so it is imperative that they are accurately prepared and signed. A wise family law attorney knows which of the closing documents they themselves can accurately prepare and which it would be best to enlist the assistance of another professional whose expertise is in the subject matter of the specific closing document needed.
I have found that consulting professionals on certain kinds of closing documents saves my clients money because they are highly experienced, efficient, and sometimes less expensive. Not to mention that the other professional’s expertise reduces the chances of my clients encountering costly issues in the future.
In this guide, we’ll delve into various closing documents and provide insights into when an attorney in a divorce might need to engage the services of other professionals to properly and efficiently implement your decree provisions.
