Your Divorce Doesn’t Have To Be A Disaster

Your Divorce Doesn’t Have To Be A Disaster

Picture of a person signing a divorce contract.Usually, when divorce comes up in public conversation, it’s the kind of armed-to-the-teeth battles that destroy lives and make for entertaining T.V.

In reality, not all divorces are miserable and messy. They don’t need to be! More often than you might think, a divorce can be a mature decision two people make in order to allow each other to be happy.

If you and your spouse are considering a divorce, don’t rush out the door to tear them apart. There is a high likelihood that the two of you may be able to come to reasonable agreements and file for a no contest divorce.

Just because you want to do it amicably, doesn’t mean you should do it yourself

Maybe you’re thinking that your divorce can be no-contest. You’ve done some research and you’re pretty sure that you can order some forms online and get this whole thing behind you for a matter of a hundred dollars or so, right?

Hold your horses.

It is definitely a good thing that you may be able to take the no-contest route, but doing so without any guidance from an experienced attorney who is familiar with your local state laws is a great way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

A much wiser and fairer approach is to enlist legal counsel to help guide you through the process impartially. You’ll want to sit down together with your spouse and your attorneys to make sure that everyone has the same understanding of all the things you are trying to fairly and maturely negotiate.

Otherwise, what might start as a well-intentioned attempt to end your marriage amicably may turn into a series of misunderstandings that become increasingly hurtful. More hurt is clearly not something that you want in this particular moment.

Reaching an agreement is almost the end, but not quite

Even once you reach a fair agreement with your spouse and all the forms are filed, there are still state-specific procedures that must be followed to ensure that your divorce request is granted.

This is truly where an experienced attorney can help you stick the landing. Trying to file for your own divorce is not something that you should have to worry about – an experienced professional can handle these procedural issues with ease and ensure that you avoid any further setbacks.

No-fault divorce is closure for pennies on the dollar

The good news is that the relatively small additional cost of having an attorney help coach you through this difficult process still allows you and your spouse to part ways on the best possible terms for a fraction of what litigating a divorce would probably cost.

If you’re ready to move on and set your spouse free, for you each to be healthy and happy, do the responsible thing and finish strong. With the guidance of an experienced attorney to help you both get what you need and keep things moving civilly, you can achieve the no-fault divorce you are hoping for with the confidence that it will be professionally executed.
