Should you and your spouse be able to agree on some essential issues you may be able to administer your own divorce, thereby saving you legal fees and the hassle of battling over property. The Orange County, California Superior Court makes available a packet that contains most if not all of the required documentation required to perform your divorce.

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

1. Have not been married for more than 5 years;

2. Agree on division of possessions and debts;

3. Do not have children together;

4. Own 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.
