Tips for a DIY Divorce That Could Benefit You Both

October 4, 2017

Is ‘DIY’ Divorce for you? DIY divorce is a simple way to go through a divorce without ever entering the walls of a courtroom, taking out the battles and tribulations of divorce that many people wish to avoid. Today we will help you understand if you are a good candidate for a DIY divorce like mediation, and what you can do if you believe so.

Tips for a Quick, Simple Divorce

Are You a Good Candidate? DIY divorce may be for you if you and your spouse agree on all issues such as division of property, custody, and support. If you are comfortable with the arrangements of child custody and you have your family’s assets in order, then you may be the right person to move forward!

What’s Your Time and Temperament? Do you have time to sit down with an attorney and gather documentation and follow through with all the filings? Do you have the temperament to deal with the emotions that follow divorce? If so, this may be the best option for you!

Will You Consider Mediation? Even with small issues standing between you, it could still be a good option for you and one that you can work out in a process known as mediation. We can help you bring closure to some of your divorce issues and come up with the right solutions.

Remember Your Taxes! There are tax considerations to be made in divorce. Talk to an accountant and get your affairs in order.

Is There Anger or Deception? If there is unresolved anger or you believe your spouse poses a danger to you and your children, a DIY divorce is not the best option. From there, litigation is probably the best choice.

The Advantages of Lawyers… Lawyers can prepare for the things you may not have even considered. They can also correspond between themselves and another lawyer if things get ugly. Because they have such a firm grasp on these cases, you should speak to one today.

What About Same Sex Marriages? These marriages require special attention. The evolving status of every state’s laws can make these divorces more complicated, so speak to us today.

We are here for you in the midst of your divorce and understand how difficult it can be, especially when you are making considerations that work for you and your family. So give us a call today to get started on your divorce case, no matter what option you believe to be best for you!

Seven stars. I had planned to put up my reviews after my final judgment but after the first hearing, couldn't wait, and I would write this whatever the outcome of my difficult case. Soheila was simply amazing in her arguments and strategy before the judge. I felt so taken care of. I chose her for her near-30 years of experience as an attorney, the depth and strength I observed in one who had weathered hardship through her many accomplishments, her compassion, and her smarts. I can't imagine what other attorney would have Zoomed with me even in sickness to help prepare me for a legal session. And I later saw how keen she'd been in her advice. I've been deeply touched watching Soheila and her paralegal Lynda Walker fight for my child as if he were their own. They in particular have treated me with great humanity - day and night from what I experienced at my former attorney's. Lynda is a gem, on her toes, flexible, hard-working, committed to each client, humble, and sweet. She has slaved over my case, doing much of the writing, watchful of me on paper and in person, guiding me gently while encouraging me to use my voice. The staff, including the office administrator Lorenzo and Linda C, is caring, respectful, and conscientious. A band of angels.

This law firm is the best! They have helped me so much with my Divorce and Criminal cases and I really wouldn't know what to do if I didn't have them to represent me. Lorenzo and Ro are awesome and are there to help at all times. My attorney was Mr.Edmondson and he has been amazing. This law firm is truly great and I will never go to any other one. Their responses are quick and will answer any questions you might have.

Beyond impressed! I had been self represented through years of family law and child support court hearings and was so hesitant to hire an attorney out of fear and trusting that they would appropriately represent myself and child. After tons of research I contacted Ms. Azizi. I immediately was greeted by Lorenzo, the Office Administrator, who made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. He assisted in making communication seamless and effortless and walked me through each step of the process. Ms. Azizi heard my concerns and was extremely sensitive to the matter of FAMILY. The team did an amazing job with discovery and building a strong case that gave me confidence and I was successful in coming to an agreement with the other party, in what has yet to have been the easiest hearing of all, thanks to them. Ms. Azizi settled my case after years of stress and agony. I am grateful for finding the team and Ms. Azizi and definitely recommend them for any of your legal needs!
