Austin, TX, Texas, United States - June 17, 2022 —
A divorce lawyer is more than just another legal voice in a courtroom to be heard because, according to divorce attorney Daryl Weinman, they often work unseen, trying to achieve a fair outcome in their client's best interests.

As the Founding Partner of Weinman & Associates, P.C, in Austin, TX, she is often faced with the common question from her clients as to what does a divorce lawyer do? "More than what most of the public expects," is her resolute answer.
Weinman said trying to deal with a divorce in Texas without assistance can often lead to a person losing much more and leaving them in a far worse place, financially and emotionally, than they might otherwise be, if they received some advice, representation, and protection.
From the outset, hiring a specialised divorce attorney will enable the lawyer to quickly grasp the issues and begin to advise and work towards an outcome that is in line with the client's best interests.
With thousands of people in Texas divorcing each year, several things need to be considered. Although Texas does not recognize legal separation, parties can have “temporary orders” while a divorce is pending, which will control how they will share money and how they will share kids until a divorce is final. Even if both parties live separately and maintain separate accounts, all property is presumed to be community property unless and until a court says that it is separate property. So, be cautious about how you handle your assets while a divorce is pending, or a court may sanction you later for mishandling of community funds.
Ensure you know where you stand on your assets and debts. Write down all the assets you both own, especially when you decide to separate, as this will give a clearer idea for your divorce attorney.
Divorce can be lengthy. In Texas, there is a 60-day cooling-off period, but a divorce process can take much longer to finalize, depending on the complexity of the assets and whether children are involved, she added.
When you hire a divorce attorney, they will explain the divorce system in Texas and what grounds there might be to pursue a divorce. The lawyer will then begin amassing evidence and documents relating to their client's divorce. They will discuss the options and consequences of how a divorce will affect their client's future.
The lawyer will discuss custody issues involving children, such as who might be the primary custodian, how major decisions will be made for the child, and the best ways to schedule visiting rights with the non-primary parent.
Weinman said the attorney prepares witnesses, documentation, and arguments for court hearings, as well as handling the procedural side of the case, such as collecting information, taking depositions, and other matters. They should provide regular updates to you about your case as it progresses.
Where property or any kind of assets are involved, the lawyer will also explain how these are handled after the divorce process. They will dig into the facts to establish whether the property is community, separate, or mixed property, and the potential outcomes.
"Lawyers are only as good as the information and evidence their client presents to them. So it is essential that a client is upfront with all the details regarding the relationship with their ex. Even if it is embarrassing or difficult to share, it is imperative that the attorney knows the full story. Everything you tell your attorney is protected by the attorney-client privilege and will be kept confidential," Weinman said. It is not a good idea for your attorney to learn important information from your ex in the middle of a hearing. It is better that your attorney be prepared to deal with such information if and when it comes up.
With all the information on hand, the attorney will be better situated to represent a client in court and to advise them toward a successful conclusion.
