PIT-FALLS IN HANDLING YOUR OWN DIVORCE
Divorce Lawyers in New Jersey (NJ)
With over 25 years of family and matrimonial experience combined, the NJ divorce and family law attorneys at Weinberger Law Group, LLC have been retained by our clients to undo countless crucial mistakes made by good people that attempted to handle their own divorce matters. While it may at first seem simple, inexpensive and easy to go on-line and obtain a few do-it-yourself forms and handle your matter pro se (without counsel), this approach can oftentimes lead to both short and long term negative implications whose costs far outweigh any potential benefit of attempting to handle your own divorce.
If you believe that you have the capacity to handle your own divorce because you know what assets and liabilities exist and you and your spouse have a good enough working relationship to amicably resolve your own issues, there are ways to keep your legal fees and costs to a minimum while still receiving vital legal protection for you and your family.
- Imagine the cost and the harm to you and your family if you failed to deal with the issue of life insurance as security for child support payment obligations and the paying parent passed away without this protection.
- Imagine the cost and the harm to you and your family if you mislabeled custody in your agreement as shared legal custody when you intended to agree upon joint legal custody. The difference between the two custody types is dramatic.
- Imagine the cost and expense to you if you failed to request to resume your maiden name at the time of the divorce and you were left to file an entirely new name change application post-divorce.
- Imagine the cost, harm and financial loss to you if you mishandled the distribution of a retirement account and they are now subject to penalties and ordinary income taxes.
