Frequently Asked Questions

Divorce Lawyer Serving Kirkland, Bellevue and Redmond

How do I know which divorce lawyer is right for me?

In choosing a divorce lawyer, you should select a lawyer who is experienced in the area of family law and who has a record of positive outcomes for their clients. Simply having knowledge of the law is not valuable to you unless the lawyer is also skilled at applying it to the real life situation at hand. As countless complexities can occur, this requires a broad and thorough understanding of the factors involved as well as creativity in seeing how the law can be applied to your benefit. You should also feel personally comfortable with your lawyer, as you will be working on vital matters together which may also involve sharing intimate details of your life.

Is legal representation expensive?

Depending on your attorney, it can be. At Carillon Point Family Lawyers, we respect the fact that your money is valuable and will not seek to take advantage with hidden charges or unfair billing practices. We believe compensation for a case should be commensurate with the complexity of that case and the work involved, rather than be based on your bank account or an arbitrary determination. We take pride in offering quality legal representation at an affordable rate. We even offer a free initial consultation.

Are court orders made as part of a divorce permanent?

Matters regarding spousal support, child support, custody and visitation can be reviewed by the court at the request of either party. This may occur due to a change in circumstance, as with income, lifestyle or relocation. A Kirkland divorce attorney can advise as to your rights and options and assist with your petition.
