Nothing is Free About Divorce

It's everywhere, free divorce, free divorce forms, do it yourself and fill out your own divorce papers - is an epidemic and may be knocking at your door.

Those contemplating divorce or in the process of divorce are actually victims of a defunct system gone awry.

Divorce is marketed like the latest and greatest commodity to hit the streets. Buy it you’ll like it and for a few bucks Mr.or Mrs. Jones you can do it yourself, no problem and live happily ever after. 

Internet companies promoting and advertising divorce are springing up like mushrooms daily. It’s as popular as apple pie and ice cream and you’re getting your daily dose of misinformation for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Whether you’ve hired legal counsel or you’re representing yourself there are a few things that can be done to prevent being blindsided during your divorce.  It’s a great rule of thumb to realize that divorce isn’t all that it’s advertised to be and there will be heartaches, lifestyle changes and obstacles every inch of the way.

The very basic information that may help is this – the divorce laws in each state vary and there’s no one size fits all. If you want the right divorce forms and the right information regarding family law in your State, you have a couple of options.

Usually, it’s possible to have a consult with legal counsel free of charge – this will give you a general overview of the first steps that must be taken when filing for divorce.  Another choice and this is a very good one – go to your state government website and locate the divorce information which includes forms and sometimes tutorials. There are workshops and other self help venues available if you but ask…  

Contested divorces or pro se divorces are tough anyway you slice them and getting a favorable decision from the family law judge is your end goal.
