  • Depending on where you live and the laws concerning such matters if you can amicably agree upon the division of property you may be able to get an uncontested divorce. There will still be a lawyer or paralegal involved but you won't have to go to court or spend a fortune on legal fees. In many states an uncontested divorce can be obtained for as little as $200-$300
  • Did you have a prenup?
  • I think as long as both parties are in agreement of what each gets.. and there is no children issues involved.. you can find find a cheap divorce.. In Canada we have do it yourself Divorce Kits... it helps you cover everything from soup to nuts for protection down the road..
  • Yes, you can do it yourself. However, I would not recommend it. I recently answered a question on AB about a spouse wanting to know how to collect his half of the other spouses 401k. It appeared by his question that he did a do-it-yourself divorce. As a result, he most likely gave up his rights in his divorce decree. A lawyer will explain to you what you are legally entitled to, and make sure the decree is adequately implemented. The most common problem with DIY divorce kits is that people don't account for all assets in the decree, and the kits use a catchall langauge that disposes of assets not specifically listed.
