do it your salf divorce?

Answer 1

There is in the state of New Hampshire it is called divorce prose (not sure of the spelling) you can go to your nearest supreme court and inquire.I've done it.

Answer 2

I think Steve Martin did that in the movie "the Man With Two Brains", aparently all you have to do is recite "I divorce thee" three times while circling both hands in front of you. You better pick up the movie at Blockbuster before you attempt it. I'd hate for it to be less then "official".

Answer 3

No offense.

Really.

But if you can't even spell the word "yourself" then I doubt you could get through the paperwork to get yourself divorced.

Look in the newspaper for a cheap lawyer. If you have no children and no assets, you can get divorced for really cheap.

Answer 4

no I wouldn't do it your self.. You could miss something and he she take you to the cleaners by a mistake you make. I know you want to cut corners and save on the fees but could be much more you lose if you don't do it right.

Let someone else do it

Answer 5

Only if you are in complete agreement on all points and nothing is going to be contested. Otherwise you are shooting yourself in the foot.

Answer 6

I would rather spend my money on a good lawyer, than spend my money on a Do It Yourself Divorce kit.
I'm not a lawyer, nor do I have any training nor education in any LEGAL way.
I wouldnt take the chance of fukking up my divorce because I wanted to do things my way and skim on the money.
I'd prefer to have things done the legal way rather than taking the chance on things being so screwed up that my ex could do whatever he wanted.

Beware of 'Do-It-Yourself' Divorces

By Courtney D. Knowles

If you are dissolving your marriage, you probably have some regrets. Even while processing these feelings, it is important that you don’t join the many people who also have regrets about the way their divorce was handled.

There seems to be an endless array of options for ending your marriage. In addition to court, arbitration and mediation, there are more and more divorce kits, books -- even options for handling it online. Yet the Institute for Equality in Marriage never recommends simply opening a boxed kit or clicking on a URL as a way to manage your divorce. Here are some reasons that we think you should think carefully before selecting a "do-it-yourself" divorce:

The Law
Divorce laws can differ from state to state and many times there are no clear-cut precedents for ending a partnership. An online divorce or any book or kit may not fully take into account all the dimensions of your individual situation in your state. Even if you and your partner agree to the terms of the divorce, you need to make sure that the final divorce decree reflects your wants and needs -- and that it is legal.

People Change
Both you and your spouse made a commitment to forever, and forever did not happen. Even though both of you may now want out, it doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy to divvy everything up. Don’t just assume that you will be able to "play nicely" until everything is finalized. While you’ll want to treat your former partner with respect and dignity, it is important to protect yourself. By using a "quick fix" divorce process or by letting your spouse handle things, you are not actively managing your situation.

Appeals Happen
Divorce decrees aren’t always written in stone. It is possible to contest or appeal parts of the judgment. If you haven’t followed all the rules and closed all the loopholes through the divorce process, then the decision may not hold up under closer scrutiny. In order to prevent future problems, take the time to get it right the first time.

Here are three important things you should do regardless of your chosen method of divorce:

Talk to a Lawyer
Regardless of the dynamics or simplicity of your situation, we always recommend having at least an initial consultation with a lawyer to discuss your situation and to present your proposed method of action. A legal professional can help you fully understand the pros and cons of your divorce plan. For this meeting, make sure you have copies of all legal and financial documents surrounding your marriage.

Talk to a Financial Advisor
You have a new life ahead of you and it is necessary to secure your financial future before you finalize the divorce decree. If you have investments such as property, stocks or retirement plans, it would also be to your benefit to speak with a financial advisor. Although your lawyer may know some aspects of finances in divorce, he or she more than likely doesn't know enough to consider your financial future.

Be Smart
Take time to use online resources (including the Institute’s Web site ) to educate yourself on the process of divorce and to fully review all your options. If you do choose to use an online divorce process or to order a kit or guide, make sure you research your chosen product by looking for news reviews or asking for references.

Guard against so called "Do-it-yourself" and "Quickie" divorces. These hold possible negative effects ranging from being legally worthless, to one party getting shafted by the other, to lousy wording that invites later lawsuits. The event of divorce is too important over which to gamble.
Seven Typical Steps toward Divorce

Many steps are required in moving toward a divorce and protecting one's own interests in the process:

Step 1: Get good legal representation!

Step 2: Address any "immediate" problems with the attorney. Court orders can protect
against abuse, violence, or to evict a spouse from the home. Court orders can deal
with immediate financial issues and with temporary child custody and support.

Step 3: Work with the attorney, supplying the attorney with truth, facts, information and
your story. Work with your attorney so she or he can do their job well. Your
attorney can only work with what you give them. Through them you will file
a divorce complaint with an authorized court. Or you will respond to a complaint
already filed against you. In the documents, issues like the cause for the divorce
will be declared. Requests will be spelled out for asset and property division,
child custody, child support and spousal support.

Step 4: The filing with the court of the documents generated from step 3.

Step 5: Pre-trial activities. The court may direct its own pre-trial actions. The attorneys
for the two parties negotiate compromises between the differences in the
documents from step 3. The clients may or may not be present. The clients can
negotiate the entire settlement and present the results to the attorneys with the
terms of the divorce. The attorney should always be allowed to critique such
agreements. Feelings can cloud personal judgements.

Step 6: The actual court hearing and decree. Court orders wil be directed to dissolve the
marriage and divide property and assets. Child custody, visitation, support and
spousal support will become legally addressed through the court.

Step 7: Abide by the decisions of the court as a responsible adult until other court rulings
declare otherwise. Time makes some rulings obsolete.
