The prospect of intimate marital disputes being adjudicated in a public forum is a source of significant distress and discomfort. Regrettably, matrimonial litigation often involves the public airing of private grievances. Yet, with expert guidance, the distress experienced by parties involved in such legal proceedings can be alleviated. Drawing from my experience as a practicing litigator providing legal counsel to numerous clients, I have come to realize that many litigants hold misconceptions about the gravity of their situation when faced with legal proceedings. Whether preparing to personally contest a matrimonial case, or engaging a lawyer, or representing a matrimonial litigant as legal counsel, it is crucial to equip oneself with comprehensive knowledge about the available legal options, the procedural steps involved, the responsibilities of a litigant, and the role of legal representation. Understanding the potential time and energy investment required by the litigation process is also paramount.
