DIY DIVORCE FAIL-Part 5

MORE REASONS DO-IT-YOURSELF DIVORCE FAILS

In our last posts described how a Do-It-Yourself Divorce can be a recipe for disaster. Now let us explore more ingredients of that Do-It-Yourself Divorce recipe for disaster!

WEAKNESS...

Spouses do not always come to court with equal strengths. All too often one spouse is the alpha with the other accepting that the alpha is doing what is best for all. That too often leads to the weaker party giving in to the stronger party to the weaker party’s detriment. For this same reason this is why I do not recommend the use of a Mediator in a divorce unless both parties are represented by an attorney. Too often the stronger party in a divorce overpowers his or her spouse and runs the mediation. The weaker party thinks that the Mediator would tell them if the things the parties agreed to were not fair. That is not true. A Mediator is not allowed to take sides. An experienced divorce attorney will make sure that their client gets their due in a mediation and the actual divorce. The attorney has the experience to know what the court would award in a divorce based on fact patterns, applicable laws, and their interpretation by the court.
