It may seem like the most cost effective solution, alternative to paying a lawyer to hear your case: go online and research the methods and download the forms for divorce yourself. What do you have to loose? Your in Florida, divorce is no-fault, so you simply have to show that your marriage is over and that's it. Is there any reasons why people spend money on lawyers for their divorce cases?

Yes, there is.

At the law firm of Cindy S. Vova, PA, we have seen the dangers of people taking divorces into their own hands and trying to play like an attorney. Over and over again, we have had to play the roles of disaster recovery from people that are meaning well, but find out that all they really have done is find themselves in a mess. They simply want to move along quickly and do not want to take the time to do things correctly with experience divorce attorneys. Unfortunately, sometimes repairing these errors ends up costing more and taking longer. We believe that if you do things correctly from the start, you will find yourself in a better position and keeping low cost.

Marriage is a Powerful Legal Institution

As a powerful legal institution, marriage is not easily dissolved. Divorce must be handled carefully in order to ensure that the parties involved actually get what they think they are getting: a fair and permanent solution.

Sometimes people find themselves in simple errors, because they attempt to complete the process themselves. These errors include:

• Placing a check mark in the wrong box on one of the forms
• Failing to file something in a timely manner or to make an objection in a timely manner
• Failing to file a required document
• Neglecting to address issues that may concern the court

Even something as little as choosing the wrong word can end up with you loosing everything, because an agreement/contract that is drawn up between the parties must be worded correctly and without the legal loopholes.

You Will Be Held to the Same Standards as Lawyers

The courts in Florida are mandated to hold pro se litigants — individuals handling their cases on their own — to the same standards as attorneys. You will be required to know the law, whether or not you actually do. Once the final judgment is entered, the case is over. You may not get another chance to fix the problem.

If your working relationship with your spouse is strong enough that you would consider a do-it-yourself divorce, you may be surprised at how economical it is to work with an experienced attorney. We will be happy to review your case, ensure proper filings are made and provide the protection you and your children need as you begin to rebuild your life.
