Divorce Q & A: Do I really need an attorney?

Written By Ronald Johnson

Q: If my partner and I agree to divorce, do I need to hire an attorney?

A: Short answer; if you disagree, maybe.  If you agree, maybe not.  If you have assets and/or children, your situation may be more complicated than you think.  If you and your partner agree about the division of assets and parenting time, then you potentially don’t need an attorney to settle your divorce.  If you don’t have marital assets or children, and you agree on the dissolution of marriage, it is possible that you do not need an attorney to handle your divorce, either. If you disagree about the division of your marital assets or parenting time, it might be time to hire an attorney.  Perhaps you could negotiate disagreements during court-appointed mediation.  This would help save you money.  If you have questions, you are always welcome to call for a free consultation.  If you need representation in court, it’s best to hire an attorney.  If you simply need help filling out forms, you can always hire a paralegal for those services.  Cascades Family Law provides both services for your convenience.
