LAW DIVORCE

Law divorce proceedings can go quite simple if you and your spouse can come to agreements about who is getting what and how all assets will be split. If there are no kids involved then it will be very simple also. If you don’t agree, then you both will probably end up on spending a ton of money on attorneys and regretting it later.

Law divorce proceedings can be as simple as you and your spouse signing a few documents and having them notarized and filed in the courts if you both agree on the arrangements and how the assets are going to be divided between the two of you. Without kids, you both can sign and be on your way and you can be divorced in as little as 30-60 days, maybe less depending on the courts and the state that you both reside in.

If you both have children, depending on the state you live in, it could take months to get through the law divorce proceedings. The courts might make you take parenting classes and more.

If you both cannot agree on how the assets are going to be split and you want the law divorce proceedings to go quickly, either of you must explain this to the other or you both will be hiring a lawyer. That would make the law divorce proceedings to take a much longer time. Some divorces can get spread out over time periods of 2 years. In addition, hiring a lawyer for a divorce usually means you are going to pay them a ton of money by the hour and you will also have to pay a retainer up front. Because your assets are frozen because a divorce has been filed, how exactly do you plan on coming up with a retainer?

Law divorce proceedings depend on how nasty the separation between you and your spouse really is and whether or not the two of you can get along just long enough to make the divorce final. If at all possible, sit down with a couple of friends and each other and fill out the paperwork. This way your friends can make sure it stays civil long enough to fill everything out and come to the appropriate agreements.
