the modern woman's divorce guide

Over the course of the last five months we have walked together through various aspects of a do-it-yourself divorce. We have touched on a number of issues, including child support, spousal support, alimony, maintenance, filing Petitions, Responses and motions. We have also provided links to your state’s divorce laws, free online legal forms, child support enforcement agencies and articles about relevant issues, and discussed the different methods of resolving your divorce: going to court, mediation or using the collaborative divorce process. Today, we would like to suggest that you take some time to review your progress and/or the challenges you are facing in divorce, and reconsider asking a lawyer or mediator for help with your case.

This suggestion is being made because we are familiar with divorce, dissolution and legal separation and we understand the intricacies that almost any divorce with assets, debts, children, disabled or unemployed spouses, long term marriages and/or “fault”, entail. In other words, we know that unless you and your husband have been married for a very, very short time and do not have children, assets, debts or complicating factors, there is probably more to your divorce than meets the ordinary eye. Thus, we want to be certain that you are exploring the depth and breadth of your circumstances, that you fully understand your legal choices and all of the decisions your make are fully informed and knowledgeable. So, this week, speak to one or more lawyers in your city and review the facts in your case, the things you have already done, and those which remain unfinished. You may use these tools to Find a Lawyer and/or Free Legal help.
