Remember when ...
Breaking up was easy
Okay, maybe it was never easy but it was sure easier than it is when you've got kids, mortgages and pension plans together!
Traditional Methods of Resolving Break-Ups:
Scenario 1
-Today, Traditional Methods of "Breaking-Up" typically mean hours and hours in Divorce Court and Tens of Thousands of Dollars in Attorneys Fees
Not to mention the Emotional Wreckage to Parents AND their children
-Outrageous Fees
Think about it - every time you have to go to court, that's at least 2 hours of attorney time at $250 per hour
That's $500 EACH party pays for each of 3-4 court appearances NOT including the final hearing
-But Wait - There's More
So that's 2 hours per court appearance times 4 court appearances = 8 hours + 8 hours for the final hearing (16 hours total)
Then, for every hour IN court there are probably 2 hours spent preparing for court (another 32 hours - that's 48 total EACH)
$10,000+ (add to that fees paid to experts - experts about the children, about finances)
-Meanwhile ...
You talk to your lawyer, who talks to the Judge, the other lawyer and the "experts"
The former "love-of-your-life" talks to their lawyer, who talks to the Judge, the other lawyer and the "experts"
The Judge, who has known you for all of a day (maybe) determines your fate and your children's fate
Oh, and notice who aren't talking to one another - the only two adults who aren't being paid to be there - the only two who are ultimately responsible for the children
Scenario 2
-Do-It-Yourself Method
The forms aren't the easiest things to fill out
If you slip up and fail to properly define something or forget to put something in the paperwork - Guess What?!?
Do Not Pass Go - Go straight back to Scenario 1(you'd be shocked how often this happens)
Is there any other way?
Yes
