My former husband and I had been married for 25 years when I filed. We had a home and all the trappings that go with it. We however did not wish to pay the high cost of an attorney, when we were in agreement on how everything would be split.
What we did was use a legal aide office. We wanted to be sure all the "t's" had been crossed and the "i's" dotted.
They gathered our information and took care of the paperwork and filing for us. Neither of us stepped foot in the courts.
It was all very civilized and a heck of a lot cheaper than hiring attorney's. If the two of you know how you want to divide what you have, you can use a legal service to file the necessary documents for you.
