[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t understand all this crappy “you don’t need a lawyer” advice. You need to at least talk to 2+ lawyers to get SOME advice. Unless you’re a divorce frequently flyer or happy to get all your advice from NOT-divorce lawyers on DCUM, you need expert help.

Skipping the basic 1 hour consult with a couple attorneys is kind of like doing DIY eye surgery off a YouTube video.

And also, why does everyone assume it’s “so simple” and everything is 50/50?  There’s a whole other world out there people!  There’s crappy parents, abuse, kids with special needs, pre nups, hidden assets, drugs, APs with bags of cash from DH…even splitting a house isn’t simple unless you plan to cut it in half.

You don’t have to go to court, but you DO need a good lawyer. [/quote]

I never said don’t do a con-silt I said don’t “lawyer up”; there’s a distinct difference. Everyone should do a one-hour consult. “ Lori lawyering up” refers to hiring a lawyer with a huge retainer when you might not even need to and preparing to go to war and litigate. that that’s the difference.[/quote]

Most lawyers require that you pay a retainer if you’re going to use them for the amount of time needed to competently guide you in a divorce.

Your definition of “lawyering up” is something that you just made up on your own. [/quote]
