Cheap Divorce

Compare for a moment a "cheap divorce" vs. an inexpensive yet smart divorce. You may get what you pay for. Shopping fees is recommended. Shopping quality is also recommended. An inexpensive decree and property division is only a bargain so long as the results are favorable compared to the maximum advantages allowed by law. Without thorough review by a qualified attorney, under current law, many parties find out too late that the pennies saved cost untold dollars in property division proceeds.

Note when filing:

The availability of the termination of marriage, property distributions, and child support requirements are unique to each state because of differences in divorce decisions rendered by courts. As new cases are decided, new precedents require variations in application. For this reason, everyone considering filing should talk to local legal counsel. Best results are obtained through planning with an attorney before committing to any course of action. Also know that filing creates a permanent public record. These records are rarely expunged without court approval. Public records are available to anyone requests copies.

The highest consideration in the development of new laws pertains to the children of the marriage. Children do not usually require an attorney, yet are considered, as a matter of judicial policy, to deserve an overriding interest in the outcome. The needs of children financially, socially, parentally and educationally are all deemed the joint responsibility of parents. Courts are empowered with responsibility to protect all interests of children in family court, regardless of agreed requests of the parents which may compromise children rights.
