The Secret to a Low-Cost Divorce

But first, some facts about marriages and divorce. According to the CDC, there are over 2 million marriages in the United States each year. Unfortunately, nearly 50 percent of all those marriages end in divorce: of those, approximately 40% are first marriages and 60% are second marriages end in divorce.

The question is then, why do people divorce? There are many reasons people want to end their marriage. Some of the most common are loss of intimacy, jealousy, poor money-management by one or both partners, infidelities, domestic violence or they realize they just made a mistake! Divorce is painful; each partner goes through some sort of conflict, pain, and loss and the faster they can get through it the better.

What are my choices? The secret is Paralegal service. Most people think they need an attorney to get a divorce. This is not necessarily so, attorneys are needed when legal advice is required and to litigate issues in court. However, when minds are made up and agreements have been reached, a paralegal service can get you through the divorce quickly and save you a ton of money.

A simplified or uncontested divorce is the quickest and simplest way through the divorce process. If you both consent to the divorce and have reached an agreement regarding custodial rights and or visitation rights, the division of assets, property and payable debts a paralegal service is the way to go. However, in some states, such as Utah, when children are involved, divorce education and orientation classes may be required. This results in another week or two for classes.

A contested divorce is when either partner does not consent to the divorce or are unable to reach an agreement on things such as custodial rights for the children or division of marital assets. Usually an attorney has to be consulted.

So, if you are one of 50% who are getting a divorce, contact a low cost paralegal before you seek a high cost attorney. There are no frills with the help of a paralegal: just fast and efficient results.
