DIY Divorce
Seeking
how to find a DIY divorce is as easy as connecting to the internet.
Today you can obtain everything you want and need with a few clicks of
your mouse button, an internet connection and a printer.
If you and
your spouse have reached
the point where your marriage is not longer working, you’ve maybe been
to a marriage counsellor to try resolving the issues, but
despite all
the attempts to resolve your marriage difficulties you reach a
conclusion that going through divorce process is the way to go.
One
of the biggest fears when the word divorce is mentioned is months of
costly litigation, to obtain that precious piece of divorce paper which
says you are no longer married to your spouse. If there are minor
children involved it is even more
worrying. However,
if you and your spouse can keep your heads and remain cool, discuss
matters in a calm manner; you can obtain a divorce without crippling
your selves with costly litigation.
In fact you can obtain
a divorce without even consulting a divorce lawyer; the answer
is a DIY
divorce. If you look on the internet you will find websites that offer
DIY divorce kits. The aim of these websites is to
offer a
solution to an uncontested divorce, provide the necessary papers for an
uncontested divorce and help file the papers with very little
legwork. The amount of money that can be saved is
quite
large than if you and your spouse choose to continue to be hostile
towards each other, hire a divorce lawyer for each party, and then
contest it in court. One day in court can run into thousands
of
Rands.
Besides the costs that would accrue should you
contest your divorce, a no fault uncontested divorce allows the parties
to end their marriage in a more comfortable way with privacy and
dignity intact. In order for this to work it is required that
the
couple’s remain friendly towards each other and discuss the various
matters calmly between themselves. They will not only benefit
themselves but their families will also benefit from an amicable
agreement between them. To save money look for a DIY divorce kit, and
you can save a large amount of money with an uncontested divorce.
Obtaining a DIY divorce kit online
the couple will be able to organise and prepare the necessary papers
without requiring the services of a divorce Attorney. These DIY divorce
kits were created by divorce lawyers so that the whole process is easy
and painless. They come complete with instructions and
questionnaires as a guide to help filling and filing the papers
correctly. Prices range from R495 to R1500 online; this gives you an
opportunity to shop around. An uncontested divorce involving divorce
lawyers could cost around R4,000, and a contested divorce can cost
anything from R10,000 to about R500,000 depending on how long the court
action lasts.
Should there be a disagreement on any
particular issue especially in reference to any minor children are
involved then the spouses should consider hiring a divorce Attorney or
divorce lawyer to check over their papers before filing so that the
rights of the minor children are protected.

dissention after the divorce then a DIY divorce kit might be ideal for
