You have the right to handle your divorce yourself, without an attorney representing you, and there are cases where that works out.

If you and your spouse don’t have a lot of assets or any children to work out custody and support arrangements for, divorce may simply be a matter of filing certain forms with the court and waiting for your judgment of divorce.

But for most couples, there are significant financial issues to be worked through, and going it alone can cost you thousands of dollars or more over a period of many years.

While you may save a few dollars up front by skipping the lawyer, you may find that your tax liability, property losses, or allocation of debt ends up being more than you expected, and hurts you for years to come.

At Friedman & Ranzenhofer, we put our clients first, and make sure they sign nothing that they don’t fully understand and agree to.

We can protect you from unfair settlement agreements and long term losses that can cost you more than you bargained for.
