Diy Divorce - How and when to use and not to use

With legal aid for family cases being halted in April 2013, pundits are predicting a large rise in self repping as it is called.

Already there are a number of companies offering DIY divorce  and there is a big difference in the levels of service that you are going to receive depending on who you use.

What you want is for your diy divorce forms to be completed for you. Many sites offer a forms only solution but to be honest you can get the actual forms for free from many sources. The forms are not the problem it is what goes in the forms and what you have to do with them that you need to learn about.

You are going to have to be agreed on pretty much everything about your divorce otherwise diy divorce is not for you. If you think your agreement could unravel then tread carefully.


We would also advise that you go and see a lawyer even if only for half an hour to make sure that what you have agreed is fair and likely to get past a judge.
