If you and your soon to be ex-spouse can reach agreement on several key issues you may be able to spare yourself the added expense of hiring an attorney. The Orange County, California Superior Court provides all of the requisite forms and even an instruction manual that walks you through the divorce process.

The best prospects for a DIY (do it yourself) divorce are those individuals who:

1. Have been married less than 5 years;

2. Agree about how to divide possessions and debts;

3. Do not have kids together;

4. Own less than $36,000.00 in property together;

5. Owe less than $6,000 (sixthousand dollars) together.

In the event that you answer yes to all of these questions a DIY divorce may be a great option. The Orange County, California Superior Court provides a packet of forms for your DIY divorce at http://www.occourts.org/scripts/formsearch.pl?PacketNum=L012.

Make sure to read the Court’s disclaimer: Packets have been developed which meet filing needs in most circumstances. There may be some circumstances when additional forms (not included in the packet) will be required by the court.

If, on the other hand, you did not answer yes to every numbered item above it’s probably time to retain a qualified Orange County, California divorce lawyer. You will no doubt have questions and might require representation. For a free consultation please visit us at www.oc-familylawyers.com and schedule an appointment today.
