Do It Yourself Divorce?  

Dear Broken-Hearted Girl, I was walking through Staples today when a specific software program caught my eye. It’s called "The Do It Yourself (DIY) Divorce Kit." I have heard of such a thing, but I didn’t realize it was a commodity in such demand that the forms to file would be sold in a national retail chain. There are many web-sites that discuss this subject and sell the forms online, but did you know that you can head to the courthouse and acquire them at no cost? Don’t be scammed Broken Hearted Girl. Here are some questions to answer before you complete a DIY Divorce Kit: - How long have you been married? - Will your spouse consent to a no-fault divorce? - Do you have children? - Do you have complex assets or a family-owned business? These are questions to ask to help decide whether you need an attorney. Before you run off and buy a DIY Divorce Kit, Broken Hearted Girl, make sure that you do some research. Divorce is a serious legal matter and should be regarded as such. Lawyers, after all, attend school for years for a good reason.
