Judges Take on Pro Se Divorce

So you've decided to represent yourself in divorce court or go pro se - your decision may be based on finances, not trusting attorneys or you may just feel no one knows your case as well as you do...

Regardless of the reasons you've made the decision to represent yourself, it is important to study family laws in your State. Getting your divorce forms from your courthouse or State Government website may be best, because many online sites just have generic forms where one size fits all and that's not true.

Before plodding off into the wild blue yonder of divorce, consider this - no one cares as much about your divorce case as you.  Legally you can represent yourself, but with that right comes many responsibilities that a pro se litigant should consider. 

Does your soon to be ex have legal counsel?  Do you know the family laws and statutes in your State?  Do you have an extensive amount of marital assets?  Do you know which divorce forms should be used and do you know how to fill them out?  Are you prepared to burn the candle at night and create a powerful divorce case?  Are you assuming that your soon to be ex will be gracious, kind and considerate and honest?

Here is a short video from a divorce judge that may help you in making decisions.
