How we can save you time and money?

Divorce can be the single most stressful period in a person's life - that it can be complicated and fraught with pitfalls. It is a difficult time for the entire family-the spouses, the children, and often even the grandparents. Most people need a comprehensive approach that reduces the stress, disruption and cost of divorce. People need to cover all areas of child custody and visitation child support, spousal support, asset distribution, debt allocation, move-always, multi-jurisdictional situations, domestic violence, etc.

Once you and your spouse have made the difficult decision to divorce, you have another decision to make: how to get your divorce paperwork completed. Attorneys charge thousands of dollars for even the most basic uncontested divorce. However, most people cannot afford an attorney, which can cost between $200 to $300 per hour and demand a retainer of $5,000.

Most people proceed by self-representation because of these high fees or remain married. Some expert estimate 1.2 million couples divorce annually without representation.

Not all marriages fail for the same reason. Nor is there usually one reason for the breakdown of a particular marriage. There for there is no "one-size-fits-all" set of documents for divorce. Many divorce document form publication companies will try to mislead you into thinking there is.  Doing your own divorce paperwork means hours of research through hundreds of pages of court rules and statutes, and sorting through divorce papers.  You will never have to worry about doing the legal research.
 

People that try to do it themselves with self-help packets thinking they have saved themselves money, only discover later that their documents were rejected by the court months later for not addressing the issues correctly.  Still other's with self-help packets get their cases thrown out for not following court procedures correctly.

Although it is possible for people to represent themselves in court, they must follow the same rules and procedures as attorneys. This means that ignorance of procedures is no excuse. Any papers required to be filed with the clerk of the court must be in the proper form and filed on time. The judges, clerks and staff of the court are not permitted to give legal advice.

While there is certainly nothing to be ashamed of, it has been our experience that the average (or even above average person) who is not familiar with the Divorce preparation process has a VERY difficult time preparing their own paperwork and successfully navigating the State Family Court. Divorce cases often involve important issues about child custody and parenting time, property and debt division, or child and spousal support.
