Re: Divorce
You certainly can do it yourself. However, if there are valuable property or children at issue, retaining a lawyer will probably save you in the long run.
Also, if both parties agree to separate and can between themselves agree to the property allocation and custody arrangement (including support) a dissolution can be accomplished. This is far less costly even with a lawyer.
