Is doing your own divorce difficult and time consuming?

Some people do their own divorce.  However, you are correct that it is time-consuming and, depending on the facts, it can be difficult. Most important, however, is that in many cases a lot of things can "slip through the cracks" without a good lawyer, and those slip-ups can cost a lot more money than the lawyer would have.   My name is David Salvaggio.  I head a law firm that devotes its practice exclusively to New Jersey Family Law matters.  It's all we do. Please feel free to take a look at our Firm Website (www.salvaggiolaw.net), which contains a lot of helpful information. I believe that you should at least meet as soon as possible with a very experienced lawyer who devotes his/her practice to New Jersey Divorce and Family Law matters.     Go over your situation in detail with the attorney, get educated answers to your questions, and obtain expert guidance as to the best course of action. In my opinion, it will be well worth the cost of the meeting.   I call that meeting an Assessment, for which the charge is $425.   Your question does not state where you live.  My firm's offices are in Morristown NJ.  If you would like to schedule an Assessment, you can call our offices at any time of the day or night to schedule a meeting.  Our telephone number is 973-455-1220. My Personal Extension is 14. Please leave a voice mail message for me if I am not available to speak with you when you call.
