If you are unsure if you need a divorce attorney, ask yourself the following before you proceed on our own with the divorce proceedings:
1. Do I comprehend the forms that I need to file in order to proceed without a lawyer?
2. Do we have children?
3. Do we have large assets, pensions, 401(K)s and/or liabilities that need to be separated?
4. Is my spouse going to contest any portions of our divorce that may necessitate Court intervention and guidance?
5. Do I have any doubts about whether I am agreeing to do something that I'm not legally required to do or waiving something that I may be legally entitled to?
If you responded yes to any of the questions above, it is in your best interests to at the very least consult with a family law divorce attorney.
The following are common characteristics of a person who does not need an attorney to assist them in a divorce:
1. The parties have no children or sizeable assets that need to be separated and/or have already divided all of their assets and liabilities;
2. The person comprehends all of the divorce documents and is perfectly capable of filing them out without the assistance of a lawyer;
3. Not in a hurry and have no specific time line that they are looking for to finalize their divorce;
4. The funds that it would take to hire a lawyer is more than the value of the assets or debts the parties are contesting;
5. Alimony or child support is not at concern.
Yes, it is right that deciding to pursue divorce is one of the most difficult and emotional decisions you will ever make, particularly if you have children. However, one should never make feel their children, as they are the reason for their parents divorce. Yes it is true that one can have complete right to take divorce but he or she should also think about their children as they are innocent then why should they suffer emotionally as well as logically because of their parents such sort of decision.. !
