Sometimes, couples don't want to drag a divorce out over months and years. That is why many individuals are trying one-day divorces or do-it-yourself divorces that allegedly chop costs and reduce the pain of the entire process. Interestingly enough, this is not always true.
One divorcee says that she purchased an online do-it-yourself-divorce kit only to learn that the document formatting was incorrect. As a result, she had to have the paperwork reviewed by a lawyer. When she went to this lawyer, the divorcee was informed that if she waited a mere six months to file, she would be entitled to a portion of her husband's pension. She chose to postpone the divorce and was able to recover thousands of dollars on the pension plan that she almost forfeited due to a simple mistake.
While do-it-yourself divorce kits may seem like a tantalizing option, it is important to remember that they are not always the best choice. Many clients realize partway through the process that the do-it-yourself divorce is not able to give them the customized counsel that they need.
A divorce attorney will sit down with you and work with you on your case face-to-face. A lawyer can also do adequate research to make sure that you are taking advantage of all property division laws that are applicable in the case.
One attorney says that DIY divorces are somewhat like going to WebMD and trying to treat yourself. It is always best to enlist the help of a professional instead of making problems worse.
