Home / FAQ / Divorce FAQ / Can I get divorced myself or do I need a solicitor?
While DIY divorces can seem like a good idea, you can soon find yourself caught up later on, especially where you are financially linked. A solicitor will help you consider every aspect of your divorce, both during and after you’ve signed the paperwork. For example, did you know that without the correct documentation, an ex-spouse may be entitled to any windfalls you receive later in life, like an inheritance or lottery win? They can also make claims to your pension and other assets many years later, in certain circumstances. Getting legal advice may seem expensive, but it probably the best investment for your peace of mind in the long run.
