Pitfalls of Do-It-Yourself Divorce in Orlando, Florida
It may seem like the quickest, simplest, and cheapest alternative: go online or get some forms from the office supply store and write up your own divorce. After all, in Florida, divorce is no-fault, so you simply have to assert that your marriage is irretrievably broken. Is there a reason to spend the money for a lawyer?
As and Orlando and central Florida family law attorney with 18 years of experience, lawyer Michael Fender has seen the hazards of do-it-yourself divorce. Marriage is a powerful legal institution, and the dissolution of marriage must be handled carefully in order to ensure that the parties to the divorce actually get what they think they are getting — a fair and permanent settlement.

Orlando attorney Michael Fender is an experienced divorce attorney who has had to repair damage from attempted “economy” divorces when clients came to him facing threats posed by simple errors:
A check in the wrong box
A single poorly chosen word concerning the marital home
A failure to file a required document
In some cases it turned out the couple, years after signing a divorce agreement, was never divorced at all!
Failure to properly account for and divide retirement accounts
If you have a good working relationship with your spouse, you may be surprised at how economical it is to have an experienced lawyer review your agreement with your spouse, ensure proper filings are made, and provide the protection you and your children need as you begin to rebuild your life.
Whatever stage you are at in your divorce — considering a separation, negotiating a custody agreement, negotiating a property distribution agreement, or preparing to file for divorce — contact our Orange County and Seminole County law firm. You will speak with a divorce lawyer, not just an assistant or a paralegal.
