The Importance of Legal Assistance in Divorce Proceedings
Undertaking your divorce might be feasible under certain circumstances. Your marriage was brief, without children or significant assets, and you have ample free time to acquaint yourself with legal procedures, paperwork, and court attendance. However, in most instances, navigating the labyrinth of divorce is a complex, emotionally charged process. Additional stress from ensuring paperwork accuracy is unnecessary.
Here are ten scenarios where engaging a divorce attorney from P. A. Davis Law Office, LLC becomes essential:
If there are children under 18 involved
When the marriage duration exceeds a couple of years
Existing disagreements on asset division
In cases where child, domestic, drug, or alcohol abuse is involved
Suspicions of spouse concealing assets
If it is a same-sex marriage
Joint ownership of a business
In situations of individual bankruptcy or combined debt exceeding $15,000
Military service by either party
Combined assets totaling $30,000 or more (house, car, etc.)
Risks and Costs Associated with DIY Divorces
While DIY divorce is considered a cost-saving measure, errors can result in substantial unexpected expenses. Mistakes could jeopardize your child's financial security or complicate your tax situation for years. Unless the divorce situation is extremely straightforward, an attorney's expertise is invaluable. One cannot anticipate every possible consequence of each decision made during a divorce; this is the specific skill set of an experienced divorce lawyer.
Indeed, divorce involves extensive, complex paperwork that extends far beyond basic transactions like car purchases. An error or miscalculation can lead to unforeseen financial repercussions, such as overpayment in spousal or child support or receiving less than your fair share of property. More seriously, mistakes could result in reduced quality time with your children. Any final agreements will be legally binding, even if future revelations suggest they are unfair. For instance, have you considered all factors, such as your toddler's college tuition or retirement funds?
Errors necessitate additional court visits, resulting in more time and money spent on the process. A divorce lawyer guarantees accuracy from the onset.
