Divorce Legal Representation Challenges

Summary

Navigating a divorce in Illinois can be complex, especially when one party has legal representation and the other does not. While having a lawyer can provide an advantage, it does not guarantee an upper hand in court, as decisions are based on facts and fairness. In cases involving abuse and financial disputes, such as asset misappropriation and debt issues, its crucial to discuss strategies with your attorney to ensure your interests are well-represented. If you feel your current legal representation is not meeting your needs, consider seeking additional legal advice or connecting with local lawyers for a free case review.

So I currently am in a divorce. I have a lawyer. My husband does not, but somehow I'm still having to bend his every whim somehow I feel like I'm on the fence even though I'm the only one with an attorney. This is in the state of Illinois in the county of Union

If I have a lawyer in my husband doesn't wouldn't you say I have the upper hand in court
Hi ****, having a lawyer can certainly provide an advantage, but it doesn't guarantee an automatic upper hand. Courts look at the facts and fairness of the case. Have you talked to your lawyer about strategies to ensure your interests are better represented?
Yes seeing my husband was very abusive. Stole my car and everything of mine when I ran away from him has ran up debts, sold the house and gave me none of it. My lawyer is telling me it'll look bad on me if I try to take this to trial because I want the financials accurately rebounded
