Q: Is there any way I could send you a copy of my divorce papers so you can explain them to me.
He lives in Indiana and I live in Nevada. I think he's trying to pull a fast one on me.
A: If you do not fully understand the papers that were presented to you, then I recommend contacting a family law attorney to review them and explain them to you. If you do not necessarily want to retain an attorney to represent you throughout the entire process, it may still be worth your time to set up a consultation so your rights can be explained. Most attorneys can do consultations by phone, so you would not need to travel to Indiana for a consultation. There may be a fee associated with the consultation and the attorney should advise you on what they charge for consultations up front.
