Self Representation in a Dissolution of Marriage; Should You or Shouldn't You Protecting You and Your Family Through Life’s Toughest Moments

Self Representation in a Dissolution of Marriage; Should You or Shouldn't You

|
With the economy still in a bit of a downward slump, many people either stay married longer than they want or try to represent themselves in a Dissolution of Marriage proceeding. While there is nothing that says you must hire an attorney to represent you if you are going through a divorce, it is generally a good idea to seek legal representation. The cost to file a lawsuit is the same whether or not an attorney helps you. The additional costs associated with hiring an attorney come in the form of attorney's fees. And while the initial attorney's fees can seem too much to handle, the benefits of hiring an attorney generally outweigh any financial burden it may cause you at first.

Oftentimes, clients come to see me after having attempted to complete the Dissolution of Marriage paperwork themselves. While I do understand the desire to cut costs, I have also seen the frustration that comes with self-representation. Many times, we have had to step in after initial paperwork is filed and try to "undo" or "fix" what has previously been done. Going through a divorce is a very difficult and painful time for everyone. If there are children involved, even more issues arise with the separation of the parties. These are the times when you want a skilled professional to help you.

The legal environment is a scary one for people who are not comfortable or familiar with that setting. An experienced Family Law attorney can make this process seem less intimidating.
