How To Do Your Own Divorce
For anyone determined to do your own divorce, be aware that the legal standards and pleading requirements
remain the same. You may prepare all documents yourself. You may hire a document preparation service. You many
purchase software for a nominal fee that will print all documents with personal information included. Whatever
method is preferred, all laws must be obeyed and consequences for errors and omissions is yours alone.
Regarding child support, custody and divorce laws:
Almost all bar associations provide an optional certification of legal expertise to highly qualified attorneys
who prove their specialization through written tests and positive recommendations from others
attorney/members. No lawyer
is required to request a certificate of specialization, however, qualifying as a legal specialist in area of the
law does provides
added assurance of competence for clients. State bar associations also establish public venues to hear
grievances filed against member lawyers. The grievance procedure and the documents required are provided without charge
to any requesting party. Also know the information provided in this site relating to
child support laws is general information only and must not be deemed legal advice. Each
individual's circumstance and governing laws are unique. Discuss all legal questions with a lawyer before taking
any action.
An increasing number of families experience divorce each year, both in total and as a percentage of
the population of the United States. Most of these people pay or receive child support. Almost all people find the
child support experience difficult. Support groups
and child support chatboards may provide a venue for sharing common experiences with others who are similarly
situated. Be aware, because of
common lack of legal expertise, misplaced good intentions about current laws and child support may cause damage. Simply put: there is no better source
for legal information regarding child support
laws and legal standards than a qualified family law lawyer.
