They asked about using online marital settlement agreement templates. Explained why generic templates lead to court rejection and how we create customized agreements. Frustration with Missed Consultation A client scheduled a consultation but did not answer any of the three calls. Sent straight to voicemail after one ring each time. Expressed frustration as this takes time away from other clients. Spouses Who Hired Attorneys but Didn’t Need Them Clients were in agreement but thought attorneys were required. Attorneys had done nothing in three months besides filing the petition and response. Advised them to file substitution of attorney forms so they could move forward without delays. Incorrect Advice About Amending Divorce Petition (Los Angeles County) Clients were told by an attorney to amend their petition unnecessarily. Explained that minor details can be handled in the marital settlement agreement. Avoided unnecessary amendments, saving time and effort. Contested Divorce Inquiry—Company Policy Explained A client in a contested divorce wanted us to review their paperwork.
