Assuming you and your spouse can agree on some key areas, you may be able to save money on legal fees and handle your own divorce. The Superior Court of Orange County, California provides all of the required documents and an instruction packet that explains the divorce proceeding.

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

1. Have been married less than 5 years;

2. Agree on division of possessions and debts;

3. Have no children together;

4. Possess less than $32,000.00 in property together;

5. Owe less than four thousand dollars ($4,000) 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, however, you answered no to some of the items above, it's most likely time to retain a qualified Orange County, California divorce lawyer. You will have many questions and may indeed require representation. For a free consultation please visit us today at www.oc-familylawyers.com to schedule a convenient appointment.
