Once the decision to divorce is made, there are multiple options for how to get it done. Rushing out to hire a lawyer may not be the best choice for you, especially if you are interested in a peaceful divorce. If you and your spouse are in agreement on most issues, and both of you would like to avoid a bitter court battle, Divorce With Dignity offers you a better solution.
Working with a Divorce With Dignity specialist has many advantages over simply hiring a divorce attorney, or trying to do it yourself using an online divorce service. To demonstrate how our service is different from the other divorce services options, I’d like to point out the Top 5 benefits of working with one of our Divorce With Dignity specialists.
1. Personal Attention
Our clients tell us that when they come into one of our offices, they instantly feel comfortable and safe. We make every effort to provide an environment that is conducive to peaceful negotiation rather than adversarial sparring. We’ll spend some time talking with you about your unique situation, and help you identify any outstanding issues. We will explain how the divorce process works, and what specific services we can offer based on your needs. Our dedication to making divorce as peaceful as possible is the foundation we use to help you negotiate a fair divorce agreement that addresses the needs of all parties involved, including children.
2. Less Stress / Better Outcome
A “divorce with dignity” means to go through a divorce without litigation, making it as peaceful as possible so everyone retains their dignity and self-respect. When you choose this option, you will avoid many of the stresses that go along with a court-litigated divorce. For example, instead of letting a judge make the decisions about the divorce agreement, you and your spouse have control over those decisions. Instead of having your private issues and circumstances made public in the courts, you retain your privacy. And you avoid the stress of a hostile and painful court case.
In addition, decisions made through cooperation and fair negotiations have a better record of compliance than dictated decisions resulting from adversarial court battles.
3. Resource Referrals
Since we take a holistic view of divorce, we know there are many areas in your life where challenges will come up due to the divorce. While we can prepare the legal documents and file them with the courts, and can help with negotiations between you and your spouse, you might need some specific legal advice. We have quality referrals for attorneys who will contract with you for help on that particular issue.
In addition to legal support, we can put you in touch with resources for emotional support (therapists, life coaches, support groups), financial support (certified public accountants, divorce financial analysts, credit counselors), mediators, life coaches, support for your children, or professionals to help you with moving logistics (real estate agents, packing and moving companies). For whatever you need to help you through the divorce process, our goal is to assist you to find the right resources and support.
4. Get It Done Faster
By working with us to formulate your divorce agreement and get the divorce paperwork prepared and filed, you bypass all the waiting for court dates and having to deal with scheduling with two lawyers.
5. Cost-Effective
Another much-appreciated benefit of working with a Divorce With Dignity specialist is that you can save literally thousands of dollars over hiring divorce attorneys for both you and your spouse. The average cost for a litigated divorce is about $20,000, but costs can easily double or triple depending on the lawyers and your situation. With us, the range is more like $1,000 to $2,000 plus court fees.
If the benefits of the Divorce With Dignity option sound good to you, we invite you to contact a Divorce With Dignity specialist (findaprovider.dwdignity.com) near you. Let us assist you to get through the divorce process with peace and dignity.
