Can my spouse and I work-out the basic property / debt distribution, parenting / support issue ourselves and then hire one attorney to do the paperwork for both of us? It Depends...

Occasionally we facilitate an uncontested divorce, meaning that we work with both parties to determine the parties' assets / liabilities and suggest a fair and equitable distribution. We then prepare and file the documents.

We undertake this role only if both parties agree to meet with me together and they call me independently to confirm the appointment. In the event that this process doesn't work and the parties lawyer-up we are ethically unable to represent either party.

Do I need an Attorney for a Divorce? It Depends...

If you have no assets , you trust your soon-to-be ex, and you have sufficient time, then you probably don't need an attorney. If, however, you have any of the following: significant liabilities, dependents, real property, pension income, significant investments and/or a business an attorney is highly recommended.

When dividing assets in a divorce, there are many variables that come into play.

Having an attorney is not only advisable to achieve an optimal outcome, it can pay dividends when relationships, confidence and self-esteem are frayed and in jeopardy. Using an attorney can often spare undue hurt and preclude long-standing acrimony.
