What's best?

My husband has decided that he does not want to continue our marriage.  We are very civil and agree on several discussed issues, so we have decided to do a divorce packet.  I am finding it difficult to do for emotional reasons.  Would it be best if we share a lawyer or just tough if out for a faster result?

I think that unless you agree almost in everything... sharing a lawyer doesn't seem like a good idea to me. They will always take one side over the other and there is a clear conflict of interest. On the other hand, if you agree almost on everything... you may file yourselves and save the money!!!! If it gets difficult for emotional reasons you can a paralegal aid that will be always cheaper than a lawyer.

Divorce is painful even if the 2 parties are civil.  If you feel it is too much emotionally for you to prepare the packet...then it is.  Do what is best for you.   Emotions zap mental and physical energy, you may need that energy in the days to come.  Good luck to you and I hope your future is brighter.  You are not alone, we are all here for the same reason.
