DIY Divorce Forms: Why Not?

Collin County Divorce Attorney Helping Clients Understand the Process of Ending Their Marriage

Divorce represents a crossroads in your life and the lives of your children. The future becomes uncertain, as one household becomes two. Financial risks create even more stress, forcing you to look at ways to trim expenses.

At the Law Office of Linda Risinger, we want you to know that you have the right to file for divorce without legal representation. If you have a simple, uncontested divorce, you can fill out the easy-to-access divorce forms. However, beware that, as a layperson, what you might consider simple and uncontested may have far-reaching complications.

While there will be costs involving filing the divorce paperwork, you will save money that would have been spent on an attorney. However, this approach may be extremely short-sighted.

Providing the Guidance You May Not Think You Need

The decisions you make may last a lifetime. The documents that you prepared and signed are binding and enforceable. Contested or uncontested, the smallest error committed during all the "heavy lifting" can result in disastrous consequences for not only you, but also your children.

While some lawyers may "dabble" in divorce, our firm does not. For over 30 years, the Law Office of Linda Risinger has solely focused on the practice of family law in North Texas. Our attorneys possess experience that is complex and comprehensive. They have handled all types of marital dissolution, from uncontested to hotly contested, high net worth divorces.

Helping You Make Good Decisions and Keeping You Strong

In addition to handling all the legal aspects of your case, an attorney has value beyond courtroom proceedings. At our firm, we remain at the side of our clients, serving as sounding boards and guiding them toward informed decision-making.

A divorce form is not going to protect your interests. We will. We do what forms cannot do: Keep your case focused and moving forward to the best possible resolution while protecting the best interests of your children throughout the legal process and planning for their futures.
