Possible to divorce without lawyers?
| Wed, 08-02-2006 - 4:44pm |
Hi there,
I've been busy since I last wrote--SBTX moved out last week, got his own apartment and I remain in the house with my son. We are currently working writing up an agreement as to what the terms of our divorce will be (custody, visitation, spousal and child support). We have agreed on everything so far and I have also consulted with two lawyers to learn my rights. However, we both would like to avoid having lawyers involved and even mediation if possible.
Has anyone attempted getting divorced without hiring a lawyer? From everything I have read it seems possible but I would like to hear from anyone with experience.
Thanks,
Robin in California

I would suggest IF you can afford a lawyer, or even a paralegal GET ONE. I wish i had, but then again i couldn't afford one then or now.
best of luck
