The purpose of the following discussion is to give you a brief overview of typical divorce issues and to tell you what we can do to help you get through a difficult, and often, expensive procedure. Obviously, without writing a book, we cannot possibly cover all areas of this increasingly complex area. However, we thought a discussion of the most common issues would be helpful. We have divided the subject into this short description of the divorce process and three other sections, one dealing with things you need to think about before filing a divorce or responding to your spouse's filing, another giving a more detailed description of things during the divorce, and a third discussing post-divorce legal procedures. We also provide explanations of the various services on the Divorce Costs page.
All divorces are different.
They range from simple uncontested procedures with no asset or other disputes to complex disputes over custody and visitation and multimillion dollar estates. Not all are suitable for this service. Our service is designed for cases that require a legal advice, not just a typing service, but cases where the client can take that legal advice and retain control the case. Although we can handle simple uncontested divorces, many people will do everything themselves using a self-help manual or a typing service. This service is for the person who wants to maintain control of the case and legal fees and is willing to do some of the legwork.
