Do-it-yourself Divorce (In Pro Per Divorce)
Testimonials
If you are trying to save money on legal costs during your divorce, the only way to make sure you do it correctly is to have us guide you through the process. At The Divorce Help Clinic™, we do just that.
The rate of Do-It-Yourself Divorces has gone up from 50% to 80% in the last year. The misconception is that doing it yourself is easy. As many people discover, without a law degree, trying to understand what to do and how to do it, is too difficult. The process involves more than filling out the paperwork correctly. Learn your rights and responsibilities as a self-represented spouse. Discover strategies that force the other side to do most of the work. Learn the skills and get the tools you need to succeed. Our experienced professional will move you through the confusing Do-It-Yourself Divorce maze to avoiding expensive mistakes and delays. We offer two programs to help you get it done right the first time.
