| There
are a few points a divorce lawyer would have to ascertain
on the issues of maintenance and assets division.
Firstly,
for the issue of maintenance, should the party file for a MSS prior to the divorce proceedings. What are the tactical advantages ?
Secondly,
the quantum of maintenance to ask for or to agree to give.
Thirdly,
whether the clients's instructions are supportable by the documents or are realistic
It is
unwise to file a MSS complaint without sight of all the documents and without a detailed computation of the means of both parties.
For matrimonial assets division, a list of all assets should be itemised, whether held in sole or joint names. Occasionally, the assets are held in the names of third parties. If these are matrimonial assets, such assets would also be subject to division.
If you are
unable to afford a lawyer, you should seek legal aid (if you qualify),
at the Legal Aid Bureau.

Court Website provides a very detailed write up on the procedure
