Emotions run high in family cases. An attorney provides clear-headed legal strategy when you're not in a position to think objectively.
Courts have complex rules and deadlines that vary by state. Missing a filing deadline or failing to disclose assets properly can have serious consequences.

If your spouse has an attorney and you don't, you're at a significant disadvantage in negotiations. The power imbalance is real.
