This video is provides a general overview of the options you have if you want to file for divorce and cannot afford to hire an attorney or chose not to hire an attorney.
1. "Do it yourself"
There is a lot of information provided in the OC superior court websites about which forms to chose and which steps to take going through proceeding.
There are also self-help centers that may assist you to filling out the forms.
The positive side of doing it yourself is you save money.
The negative side is you spend a lot of time, filling the forms, but also:
- going to the court filing those forms
- finding someone to serve your spouse
- preparing stipulated (agreed) judgment and so on.
2. Hire a certified paralegal.
The important point is if paralegal assisting you she or he should do it under the direct supervision of an attorney physically present in her office.
The positive side of this it much less expensive and usually faster and more efficient than hiring an attorney.
The negative side is a paralegal cannot give you a legal advice and very often in the process of filling the forms you might not be certain how to properly divide community property and eventually the paralegal will make you work with a family law attorney.
3. Legal Document Assistant (LDA).
