Divorce Discussions

 

 

The following are simple thoughts and ideas about handling a divorce. To have your Questions & Answers included, please contact us.

 

 

"I was completing the do-it-yourself divorce,  I found out today that she contested the divorce after the 20 days.  What happens next in my state? I can't afford a lawyer."

 

We do not handle legal questions and I have only been involved in a divorce here in Georgia. An attorney? I think so many things depend on the judge and your own negotiations and/or historical and present situation.
 
Be careful what you sign. Often people get scared when they hear about an attorney and think that they have no rights at all when that may not be the case. 
 
Personally? I think it helps to work directly with your spouse whenever possible to avoid all of the legal costs associated with a divorce. Often a lawyer will charge your spouse hourly for changes and meetings. The whole thing is silly to me if things can be worked out without the attorney. But there must be a relationship of mutuality between the two of you. Your spouse must know that you seriously want what's best for you, her and the kids.
 
We never know how things will go in this life but I know that the sunshine and moonlight are still free. When things get difficult it is easy to throw in the towel or overreact. Things often work out better when we keep a clear head.
 
Take Care,
