Do-it-Yourself Divorce Coaching (In Pro Per Divorce)
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 a legal expert guide you through the process. 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. At The Divorce Help Clinic, we offer two programs to help you get it done right the first time.
Program 1:
A Little Guidance, Fee: $500
Included in this Package
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 a legal expert guide you through the process.
At The Divorce Help Clinic™, we will coach you through the confusing do-it-yourself divorce paperwork and process, avoiding expensive mistakes and delays.
Doing your own divorce involves more than filling out the paperwork correctly. Learn your rights and responsibilities as a self-represented spouse. Learn facts about the opposing attorney and your judge. Discover strategies that force the other side to do most of the work. Learn the skills and get the tools you need to succeed.
In addition, we will help you get ready for court preparation, teaching appropriate court behaviors including speech, appearance, and body language, assistance with research, organization and compilation of documents and access to resources.
