a family law expert. Whether you have a house, a retirement account, or several bank
accounts, you should make sure to hire a reputable family law firm which has
successfully allowed clients to keep most of their assets. Otherwise, you could end up
losing it all just because you are trying to save some money early on in the process. It is
important to look at the big picture in your divorce process as every decision you take
will have a direct impact on your divorce proceeding.
