Divorce Overview                                       Free!  Ask a Legal Question


Your first task in dealing with your divorce or post-decree dispute will be to decide how much professional help you need.

If your divorce is simple—no children, few assets and debts—it may be possible to do the paperwork and the entire process yourself. Half the people who get divorced do so without attorneys. Many of them would probably benefit from professional assistance, but the choice is really theirs.  For more information about doing your own divorce without professional assistance, click here.


Areas where you may want assistance include developing the necessary paperwork, mediation or co-mediation, psychological or career counseling, or representation in either mediation or litigation.

The Harding Law Office provides assistance in all these areas; but more important, we encourage you to choose and control just how much professional involvement there will be in your divorce.  A litigated divorce typically costs thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars.  Much of this cost results from the fact the parties are often discouraged from direct communication and negotiation, leaving all communication up to their lawyers.  This considerably inflates the cost of divorce. 

The Harding Law Office is fully prepared to assist you in a high conflict divorce, where, because of a protective order or other reason, you need to have limited contact with your spouse or former spouse.  However, we also seek to reduce the cost of your divorce, through mediation, negotiation or other conflict resolution process, while using court litigation only where necessary.  This aspect of seeking the simplest and least costly resolution to your divorce or family law matter, while providing a team of professionals to address your legal, psychological and financial needs, is what separates the Harding Law Office from the typical law firm or counseling practice.
