The following are simple thoughts and ideas about handling a divorce. To have

"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,
Clay
