The Cost of Divorce & Lower Cost DIY Divorces

The cost of divorce. How much are we going to have to spend to actually get divorced? It seems like everything costs more nowadays, and divorces have always been pretty expensive. Attorneys usually charge hundreds of dollars by the hour, and sometimes the situation is absolutely complex enough that you need an experienced lawyer who can help manage and litigate the divorce for you. But what if money is tight, or the situation just isn't that complicated? You don't have much to split up, or you already agree on how things should go from here on out. There's definitely a better way! It's impossible for an attorney to accurately predict how much a divorce will cost, because a lot of things can come up during a divorce which require us to spend more time on your case. We have the experience to be able to tell you if you should consider hiring an attorney, or if you might be able to handle the situation yourself. Schedule your consult today! Find out if proceeding without an attorney is the right choice for you, where to find the forms you'll need to fill out, if the terms you've reached with your soon to be ex-spouse are fair/reasonable, what steps you'll have to take to proceed on your own, and how to avoid common mistakes at each and every stage of the process. If we're in agreement that you can do this on your own, we can minimize the cost to you by charging you an hourly rate to go over each form you need to get your divorce filed and completed, answer your questions with real, honest, straightforward answers, and give you the advice you need to get divorced as quickly and efficiently as possible. Attorneys are available to talk about every aspect of your divorce with you. Start the process with us, and if at any point you start to feel overwhelmed, the situation changes, and you can longer communicate with your spouse, you or your spouse propose new terms, and you're not sure if the new provisions are fair, or your spouse hires their own lawyer, and you feel there is now a power imbalance, you can always come back and see us! If it gets to be too much, come back and speak with an attorney who is already familiar with your case to talk about full-time, traditional representation, with the service and communication you already know.
