You may think that I am biased and perhaps I am but anyone who was in the family law courts this morning will surely re-consider employing a non-legal ‘do it yourself’ type of divorce service.
The County Registrar announced that she was entirely unhappy with the way in which these companies were dealing with married couples seeking a divorce. She said that she felt they were making a mockery of the court system by standardising family law civil bills, affidavits of means etc. She went on to say that while she did appreciate the costs involved in employing qualified solicitors, it was money well spent in circumstances where solicitors will at all times act in safeguarding their client’s best interests.
Regardless of whether you want a quick divorce or a divorce on consent, you really should consult a solicitor who will explain and advise you as to the best course of action given your circumstance. More often than not employing a solicitor will allow for a divorce to be obtained within the shortest possible time.The courts attitude to these services is that they are not representing your best interests and you would be well advised to seek proper legal advice.
