ABSOLUTELY!!! Do you really think that you can paint a picture like you wifes attorney can?? The funny thing is you can go into divorce court thinking your wife would never ever try such a thing but once an attorney gets to her, you will be accused of everything from leaving the toilet seat up and causing her stress, to beating her every time you came home. None of which is true.. Don't be nieve and think you will get a fair judgement if you don't have an attorney. It just won't happen...

That would be totally foolish. I believe it was Samuel Clemens (tom sawyer) that said a man that represents himself in court gives the case to his opponent. Or, something like that. Only attorneys can and know how to tell big enough lies to win a case.

I represented myself in my divorce because I was giving her everything that she wanted. I didn't care to argue with her after she had cheated on me, thrown me out of my own house, and destroyed my life. I just wanted it to be over with, and I didn't want to pay the extra cost of having somebody stand up beside me and say "Yes he agrees to it all." and then ask me for a thousand dollars.

If you have agreed to everything, or if you don't have anything to lose don't hire an attorney.

There is a reason for the saying "A man who represents himself in a court of law has an idiot for an attourney and a fool for a client". ..

Unless you have been spending time learning about family court proceedures, case law, and such, yes bad idea. Not that you can't represent yourself. Its just that you better have your ducks in a row.

It would depend what the grounds are and if there is money property and kids involved. If it's going to get nasty I would say it's definitely a bad idea.

It depends on how much you have to loose and if you are going to court on good terms or bad terms.


Best wishes

If you are sure you can represent yourself well, why not? They may even cut your child support, believing you to be very poor.
