The Art of Listening...

..."what do you mean?", you ask....we all listen!

The truth is that if you are in the midst of a family law dispute, you are very likely stressed, tired and frankly, a little bewildered. In such situations, you may be vulnerable to missing important information being provided to you by your lawyer, by the Court, by other agencies working for you.

Here is some advice:

1. listen, I  mean, really listen, rather than just think you are.. ask yourself - If I were asked to do so, could I repeat what was just said? do I really understand it?
2. take notes! Do not underestimate the assistance they can give you later - for example, you will be able to review your notes of a meeting, at a later date, and ask any questions which arise....
3. slow down the conversation, if you need to...make sure that you are following and ask any follow-up questions...
Hope this assists - remember, your lawyer is working for YOU!
