Legal Representation
You may be considering representing yourself in a divorce. Perhaps you and your spouse are on good terms and want to divorce as amicably as possible. However, representing yourself may be more expensive and take longer than expected. Here are the top reasons why self-representation is a bad idea.
1. Those who represent themselves tend to give up rights they were not aware they had.
2. Individuals are not always prepared for curve balls that arise mid-way through divorce.
3. Your divorce may end up in court, adding even more time, confusion, and complexity to the process which ends up costing more than attorney's fees.
4. Typically, those who represent themselves in court reach unfavorable outcomes by the Court because they do not communicate effectively, misstate the law, and appear unprepared.
5. You are likely to lose perspective when trying to reach an agreement with your spouse or your spouse's attorney.
