The other party has hired a lawyer. Should we hire one too?

Legal subjectivity:

1. Do I need a lawyer to represent me in divorce proceedings?

Whether divorce proceedings need to be represented by a lawyer depends on the specific circumstances.

First, these divorce cases do not require lawyers:

1, the result is clear and predictable, and you don't need to find a lawyer.

2. The expectation of divorce compensation is too high, so don't look for a lawyer.

Second, it is recommended to hire a lawyer in the following divorce situations:

1, complicated divorce case, it is recommended to find a lawyer.

2, the law is blank, it is recommended to find a lawyer.

Second, how to deal with divorce in different places? How to handle divorce proceedings in different places?

According to article 12 of the Supreme People's Court's Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Civil Procedure Law, a case in which one spouse has left his domicile for more than one year and the other spouse files a divorce lawsuit shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court in the plaintiff's domicile. If one spouse has left his domicile for more than one year, the divorce case filed by one spouse shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court of the defendant's habitual residence; If there is no habitual residence, it shall be under the jurisdiction of the people's court where the plaintiff has his domicile at the time of prosecution. The above-mentioned residence refers to the residence of citizens; A habitual residence refers to a place where a citizen has lived continuously for more than one year from his domicile to the time of prosecution, except where a citizen is hospitalized.

Both parties have left their domicile for more than one year, and now they should file divorce proceedings. In principle, the provisions of the above article 12 shall apply, but two situations shall be distinguished:

First, if one party has lived in his current place of residence for more than one year, the other party shall file a lawsuit for divorce with the people's court of one party's habitual residence;

Second, if one party has not lived in the current place of residence for one year after separation from the other party, it should be regarded as having no habitual residence, then the other party should file a divorce lawsuit with the people's court of the other party's habitual residence.

3. What if one party asks for a divorce and the other party disagrees?

How to deal with the situation that one party asks for a divorce and the other party disagrees: both parties can negotiate again on divorce and other matters. If negotiation fails, the parties may apply to the relevant organizations for mediation or directly file a divorce lawsuit with the people's court. When accepting a divorce case, the people's court shall conduct mediation. If the relationship has indeed broken down and mediation is ineffective, divorce should be granted. Not every divorce case needs a lawyer, but it is necessary to determine whether a lawyer needs to intervene according to the specific situation.
