Your Options Depend on Your Situation
How a couple divorces depends largely on the severity
of disputes between the parties. Because of the wide
variety of cases, the legal process offers several ways
to end a marriage, from a do-it-yourself settlement
to a full divorce trial.
I appreciated the kind and civil approach to a difficult situation.

It’s entirely possible for couples to divorce
with no attorney involvement whatsoever. These spouse-to-spouse
or “kitchen table” agreements are generally
amicable splits between couples with no children. The
settlement is filed at the courthouse, and the process
is complete.
However, in cases where there are disagreements, and
in any case involving children or considerable property,
legal representation becomes necessary. The side links
explain each option and point out advantages and disadvantages.
