We all know how expensive
divorces in New York can be, which is why it is important to understand that looking
for a less costly way to handle one can results in you spending more money
in the long run. One of the most popular ways people do to attempt to
save money is by not using a divorce lawyer. Unless you possess the experience
and education necessary to represent yourself effectively, doing so will
only result in a disastrous outcome.
The following are some risk associated with not using a lawyer:
-
Lack of legal knowledge. A qualified attorney will possess the extensive knowledge of state laws
and court proceedings in order to help you navigate through any complexities
related to your divorce. You may not be able to address any nuances of
the courtroom processes in a beneficial manner to your case.
-
Make more mistakes. Since the legal system and divorce process can be complicated, failing
to properly address all issues of your divorce, such as debt and assets
accumulated during marriage, can negatively impact your future.
-
More stressful. Since divorce is already frustrating enough, having to examine and analyze
your own paperwork by yourself, as well as representing yourself against
your spouse’s attorney can be completely overwhelming. A qualified
lawyer will collect all of the required information for you and handle
other requirements associated divorce while you focus on your family.
-
End up in an unfair divorce. Divorce isn’t as easy as splitting your money in half with your
ex-spouse, especially if children, valuable assets, and debt are involved.
Without reliable legal assistance, you are at risk of receiving a terrible
settlement.
