Can I Get a Divorce Without a Lawyer?
Jan 28, 2019
If you have decided that it is time for you and your spouse to divorce, you may be wondering whether you are required to hire a lawyer to settle issues like division of property, child custody and spousal support payments. For example, you may have an amicable relationship with your spouse and anticipate a fairly straightforward divorce, or you may be looking for ways to save money during the divorce process. Mediation is one way to navigate the divorce process from start to finish, with the help of a neutral third party. Mediation does not require that either you or your soon to be ex-spouse hire attorneys but gives you the support and guidance that you need to get through the process with a fair and equitable result.
