When to Seek Advice from a Divorce Lawyer?

The common tendency – to keep sitting on a problem until it gets bigger leads to complications such as ending up in false and frivolous litigation. One must remember that although 100% fairness cannot be expected from life (let aside another human), at the same time, there are acts that one cannot. So when a spouse (or any of their family members) commission an act that cannot be condoned (at least without legal intervention) it becomes important to take the right legal advice and adopt an effective recourse.

Acts Which May Not Be Condoned:

Act of Crime including but not limited to act of cruelty such as physical violence/ abuse

Repeat acts of emotional abuse.

Dowry Mongering – direct or indirect.

Repeated inordinate demands, or financial expectations

Compulsive unreasonable separation of the only son from dependent parents

Non-consummation of marriage

Unreasonable withdrawal from conjugation

Mental and emotional abuse including character assassination

Unreasonable restrictions

Substance abuse, gambling, etc.

Cheating, Compulsive lying, manipulation, and Gaslighting

Repeat acts of excessive rage and dominance.

If a conflict out of disagreement is given an ugly turn and threats are extended – of any kind of harm wrongful persecution, one should consider consulting a divorce lawyer immediately, to know their options to save from frivolous litigation. While at a nascent stage of a dispute, documented mediation, reconciliation and marital counseling can effectively help resolve, however, a delay may cause these recourses to lapse leading to further escalation of the dispute or sufferings.
