The majority of those who file are concerned about cost effective divorce strategies in North County San Diego. Nothing bears this out more than the fact more than 80% of Californians attempt to handle a divorce on their own and file without representation.
Reality check #1: less than half of these cases are able to complete the process on their own, and most waste substantial time and even more money in terms of time off of work and resolving areas of dispute than if they had worked with an attorney from the outset. A local family law judge recently reported most self-represented clients he asked had been seeking a divorce for well over a year and had spent a substantial amount of time and money during the process.
The economical key to divorce lies in the resolution of areas of disagreement. If the two parties are in complete agreement of literally every aspect of their divorce it is an inexpensive task to put these agreements in writing, formulate enforceable documents and complete the cost effective divorce.
Reality check #2: The vast majority of divorce cases in Carlsbad have at least a few areas of substantial disagreement between the parties. The parties themselves are not able to negotiate a resolution in these cases.
