ADVANTAGES OF DOING YOUR OWN DIVORCE

In the perfect world you would have enough money to hire a good lawyer to represent your interests in a divorce and the amount of his attorney fees would not have a traumatic effect on your life, that of your spouse and the well being of your family. Now back to reality!

About 80% of all family law matters in California are handled by those who represent themselves or are "in pro per" to use the legal jargon.

Studies have shown that people who take an active role in their divorce generally do much better emotionally and legally. For example, a "good outcome" would mean that their spouse is in better compliance with the court orders, there is less post-divorce stress and less litigation, more goodwill and better co-parenting.
