Why Hiring a Lawyer Isn’t Always Necessary
Divorce doesn’t have to be expensive. Many couples can successfully navigate the divorce process without hiring a lawyer. If your divorce is uncontested, meaning you and your spouse agree on all the terms, you may be able to save thousands of dollars by preparing your own documents.
Why Hire a Lawyer?
While lawyers can be helpful in complex cases, they can also be costly. If your divorce is relatively simple, you may not need legal representation. Here are some reasons why hiring a lawyer isn’t always necessary:
- Cost: Lawyers can charge significant fees, which can add to the financial stress of divorce.
- Complexity: If your divorce is uncontested, there may not be any complex legal issues that require a lawyer’s expertise.
- Time: Hiring a lawyer can add to the length of the divorce process.
