Working with a lawyer during separation can be daunting, especially if it’s your first time.

In this episode, Tim and Jen share their top tips for making the process smoother and more effective. They break down three key areas: preparing for your first meeting, communicating efficiently with your lawyer, and collaborating on documents.

The discussion covers practical advice on setting meeting expectations, organising information, managing communication preferences, and handling financial disclosure.

Listeners will learn how to personalise their approach, reduce costs, and make the legal process less overwhelming, turning a challenging time into a more manageable experience.
