 If you are considering divorcing your spouse or if they have already filed for divorce, it is a good idea to at least consult with a couple of lawyers. The consultations are often free and you can get answers to many of the questions you’ll undoubtedly have. 

Representing yourself in a divorce proceeding is an option in most states. For some couples, representing themselves can be the wisest and least expensive option. This is usually the case when the couple has no children and limited assets to divide. Under these circumstances, a couple doing a do-it-yourself divorce could terminate their marriage for less than hundred dollars.

More often than not, however, things more complicated. Agreements need to be reached regarding children, retirement accounts, savings and the family home. When this is the case, it is always better to have the help of a lawyer.  

When one partner has been the primary breadwinner of the relationship, there will be issues of spousal support involved. Depending on the length of the marriage, the age of the couple and the ability of both to earn a living, a court will have to consider whether or not to or order support payments and how much. Here is where an experienced attorney is worth their weight in gold. Depending upon which side you’re on, a good lawyer can save or earn you tens of thousands of dollars over the course of your lifetime. 
 
The same holds true if there are children involved and child support payments are necessary. However, most states have tables that dictate how much support must be paid per child based on the income of the spouse making the payment.

Pensions and retirement accounts are likely to be divided in a divorce as they are considered marital property.  Valuing them is not an exact science and a good lawyer can help protect these accounts. You can expect your attorney to advocate on your behalf to make sure your interests are place above all else.

While there are situations when a do-it-yourself divorce is warranted, when issues of money and children are involved you need to be made aware of all the possible outcomes and what’s necessary in order to protect your future. Only an experienced divorce lawyer can help you through this difficult process.
