I don't encourage anyone to divorce. From my experience divorce doesn't solve problems, it only adds to the problems you already have.
In some cases a marriage is so far beyond repair, a few extra problems post divorce is no reason to stay. What do you do in today's economy where money is short and problems can seem overwhelming?
Find yourself a Flat Fee Attorney. Instead of hiring an attorney who charges a retainer fee and high hourly rates, hire one who will take care of the divorce process, from beginning to end for one flat fee.
When to Use a Flat Fee Attorney:
- When there is low conflict between spouses. And, nothing is better than decreasing conflict that saving money on a divorce. If your spouse seems unwilling to negotiate issues like child support and the division of marital assets suggesting a flat fee attorney may cause him/her to become more willing to negotiate.
- Couples who want to spend less time in court and on the divorce process benefit by hiring their own, individual flat fee attorney. You can negotiate the legal issues have your attorneys make sure your legal rights are protected, draw up the paperwork, file it with the courts and you are done.
If you are bent and determined to divorce but can't handle those high legal fees check out a local flat fee attorney and get on with solving all those problems you'll face post-divorce.
