Avoid The Dangers Of A Do-It-Yourself Divorce
While it may seem as though a couple might agree on all aspects of their divorce, more often than not, they have overlooked several crucial provisions in their divorce agreement. When conflicts surrounding omissions in the agreement arise in the future, expensive litigation may be required.
At the law office of Jody A. Miller, we help clients throughout north Georgia avoid the common pitfalls of a do-it-yourself divorce and navigate the divorce system in a timely and cost-efficient manner.
Filing For Divorce Without A Lawyer
The logistics involved in separating two lives are complex. A multitude of issues must be addressed. Often, couples attempting to draft their own divorce documents fail to recognize the many decisions that must be made.
For example, a couple may decide who gets the marital home, but may not provide for removing one spouse’s name from the mortgage. When mortgage payments are late, both ex-spouses’ credit is hurt.
Other couples incorrectly address issues and might file paperwork that may not reflect their actual agreement. Once a divorce decree has been issued, the provisions in the order are final. Changing the terms of the agreement can be difficult and costly.
As an experienced attorney, I have helped numerous clients avoid the common pitfalls of a do-it-yourself divorce. It is always more difficult and more expensive to fix incorrect or incomplete divorce agreements after the divorce is final. Speak with an experienced lawyer today to make sure you do not face any of the pitfalls of filing a pro se divorce action.
