A: You definitely should retain Counsel if you are wanting to file for a Divorce or if you believe your Husband will file for a Divorce. Once the Divorce word is presented in a marriage, that is a red flag to begin preparing, because despite what your spouse is stating to you, he may be preparing and you do not want to be caught off guard. There are several things that a Lawyer can advise in preparation long before a Divorce is filed.
