Self-Help Tools

There are a variety of resources available for those people looking to get a divorce. Many of the more traditional options, like retaining a lawyer, hiring a mediator, and going through the normal approaches can be quite expensive and time-consuming. There are more cost-effective options available for people who are in agreement on all of the difficult issues surrounding divorce decrees.

In general, there are some benefits to hiring a lawyer and going through the traditional court system to finalize a divorce. In most cases, though, these are most beneficial for people who need help resolving the many contested issues, including asset allocation, custody, alimony, etc. These methods, though, are quite expensive and can sometimes lead to more contention than is necessary.

There are a large number of “self-help” tools available online for people who want to finalize their divorce without the traditional lawyers, mediators, and other third parties involved. Many websites offer services where the divorcing couple puts in their information, including assets, agreed upon settlement, allocation, and other data and then they receive completed divorce forms, tailored to their specific state, in the mail.

The only people that this really benefits are those in a no-contest divorce, where both sides are in complete agreement on all issues and do not need any help mediating or deciding who gets what.
