Do-it-yourself - a really good point

Whether you want to do your own divorce, support modification, contempt affidavit, grandparent visitation, or custody case, you need to think about two things:

First, you pretty much got to create your own forms in Indiana. See my post here on the subject of forms: http://haslerlaw2.blogspot.com/2007/07/online-indiana-family-law-resources.html

Second, think about this post from The Kansas Family and Divorce Lawyer Blog:

Before you consider filing your divorce yourself, please remember one thing. Almost anyone can fill in a form. But, the legal process can be a complicated process and those of us who deal with it every day truly know what is needed to take a case from start to finish. You need to remember there is always the chance that you may run into a problem....
Neither time nor geography deduct anything from the wisdom in that paragraph.

I did a simplified divorce 5 yrs. ago. Had been married for 34 yrs. I am now suing ex for financial fraud. GET A LAWYER NOW!!!! Legal terms in contract or marital settlement agreements are killers and not the everyday interpretation .
