DYI Divorce

DYI Divorce is very popular in the United States. The divorce rate in the United States is rising at an alarming pace. With the soaring rates of lawyers and the prestigious law firms, getting a divorce has become a fairly expensive business. DYI Divorce is a way out for people who don't have the time and the necessary financial standing to file a normal divorce in court. For a DYI Divorce, you and your spouse should essentially agree that you both wish to end your marriage and go your separate ways in peace. Only when you feel that you and your spouse can cooperate enough to come to some form of fair agreement, regarding the division of all your property and bills, you can proceed to file a DYI Divorce. Before filing a DYI Divorce, you must feel certain that you and your spouse can reach a fair and reasonable agreement about custody of child, child visitation, and child support. Before you file a DYI Divorce, you should be able to firmly state your wishes to your spouse and not be intimidated by him or her. If your marriage has not been totally free of spouse or child abuse, you can't go for a DYI Divorce. And if you or your spouse is not in active military service, you can definitely file a DYI Divorce. But you cannot file a Divorce, if there are any previous legal proceedings that have been instituted for a divorce, legal separation, child custody, or domestic violence between you and your spouse. To settle your DYI divorce, either you or your spouse will have to file a petition with the court. A petition is a legal document set out in numbered paragraphs. The statements in the paragraph are called allegations or averments. They are a must for DYI Divorce. These DYI Divorce petitions give the court jurisdiction over you, your spouse, your children, your property and your divorce.
