If you and your soon to be ex-spouse can reach agreement on several key issues you may be able to spare yourself the added expense of hiring an attorney. The Orange County, California Superior Court provides all of the requisite forms and even an instruction manual that walks you through the divorce process.
The best prospects for a DIY (do it yourself) divorce are those individuals who:
1. Have not been married for more than 5 years;
2. Agree about how to divide possessions and debts;
3. Do not have kids together;
4. Own less than $32,000.00 in property together;
5. Owe less than $4,000 (four thousand dollars) together.
If you can answer all of these questions in the affirmative a DIY divorce may be your best option. You can find the packet of forms for your DIY divorce provided by the Orange County, California Superior Court at http://www.occourts.org/scripts/formsearch.pl?PacketNum=L012.
Do not forget to read the Orange County Superior Court's disclaimer: Packets have been developed which meet filing needs in most circumstances. There may be some circumstances when additional forms (not included in the packet) will be required by the court.
If, however, you answered no to some of the items above, it's most likely time to retain a qualified Orange County, California divorce lawyer. You will have many questions and may indeed require representation. For a free consultation please visit us today at www.oc-familylawyers.com to schedule a convenient appointment.
