Are You Overwhelmed By The Divorce Process | Santa Clarita

Are you overwhelmed by the divorce process?  Perhaps you use the word frustrated when you think about divorce.  Don’t worry, you’re not alone in this mess of divorce and trying to figure it all out.

We get calls and emails from people everyday who have felt one or both the emotions above and realize that they need to get professional help in completing their divorce.

You have to wonder why the courts make it so difficult to complete a divorce.  And the difficulty comes in two varieties.  First, there is the paperwork to deal with.  You have to make sure your check the correct boxes and fill them out correctly.  You need this form if this happens and that form if that happens.

Next is the issues that arise due to the actual procedure.  The legal system is all about following proper procedure. Which forms have to be served.  Personally served or mail served?  What’s the difference?  What? I can’t serve the paperwork?

Just with the issues of paperwork and procedure there are hundreds of things that you can do wrong that will ultimately delay your case.  In most cases, it is harder to fix than to to just have done it correct in the first place.

Some of clients came to us after they had already started the process, thinking they were doing a pretty good job.  When we reviewed their documents we literally had to correct everything they had done so far up to that point.

Our recommendation is that you come to us first, before you start filling out and filing paperwork.  Of course, we welcome your business at any stage. We even take on cases where the parties have completed everything and even submitted their judgment, which they had rejected by the court.

No matter where you are at in the process, not started yet, in the middle or at the end, we can help complete your divorce for you so you don’t have to be overwhelmed.

Is My Santa Clarita Divorce Case Uncontested?

Did you know that there is a 95% chance that your divorce case is uncontested?  This is because the true nature of a contested case is one that goes in front of a judge, which very few cases ever do.

People often call me and say they are not sure if their case will be uncontested or contested.  What they are really saying is that they don’t have all the issues worked out just yet.

This does not make is a contested case.  It just means you have not worked out all the issues.

Seldom do the parties I assist with preparing divorce documents have all the issues worked out.  There are usually unresolved issues surrounding such thins as Spousal Support, Child Support or the division of assets and debts.  There are a lot of people who have questions about how to deal with their home as well.

So even if you have issues to resolve, we can help you to use the courts services to understand the law and work towards an agreement.

It is our goal to help you get through your divorce without having to spend countless thousands of dollars on attorney fees.  We can help you navigate the  courts free services and even refer you to a local mediator if you are really having trouble coming to an agreement about the terms of your divorce.

Hiring a divorce attorney should be your last resort.  Doing so will only complicate matters and end up costing you a small fortune.  There are better ways of dealing with the issue of divorce.

We welcome your call, even if it is to see if using our services would be a good fit for your particular circumstances.  We will lay out a plan to help get you through the divorce process and make recommendations based on your specific issues.

Don’t Spend Children’s College Tuition On Your Divorce | Santa Clarita

“I want to save my money so I can send my kids to college.  I don’t want to spend it on an attorney to get divorced.”  That was what a new client of ours said when I asked her why she chose to work with us instead of hiring an attorney.

It was one of the smartest things I heard someone say, and one of the most rational as well.  With the average cost of a divorce in California averaging $15,000, per person, who wants to throw that kind of money away.

Either way you look at it, it is bad news.  You are either spending your savings and investment money, or lacking that, going further into debt to foot the bill for your divorce attorney.

Having rational clients like this is probably one of the biggest differences than those I would encounter when working at the law firm.  Folks that hire attorneys appear to want to fight it out and make decisions based on emotions.

Our self represented clients treat the process much more like a business transaction and work to come to agreements where possible.  Where not possible, we help them settle their differences by using the courts free mediation services.

Before you run out and hire an attorney for your divorce, stop and think about the true costs of taking this action.  Is it really worth racking up all this debt to get your divorce settled?  Or like our client said, do you want to spend you kids college money?  I don’t think so.

We are a flat fee full service divorce firm that helps prepare your divorce documents. It is our goal to leave you in a better financial condition when your done instead of a worse financial condition.

Divorce Doesn’t Have To Cost You A Fortune In Santa Clarita

That’s right, divorce does not have to cost you a fortune with companies like ours providing fixed cost full service divorce options.  Yet, the average cost of a divorce prepared by an attorney averages $15,000….  Per person!

To be honest with you, we feel it is flat out ridiculous to spend that kind of money on a process that, we believe, should never have to end up in court or even involve the legal system to begin with.

Most people don’t have a case full of money just sitting around waiting for a reason to spend it.  When I worked at a law firm, almost everybody that came through there put the entire cost on credit cards.  And when one card would decline because it would be maxed out, they would just put another credit care on file and charge that one up also.

Sometimes, the only thing that would bring people to their senses was the bill they would receive each month.  The law firm would do all kinds of discovery and production of documents and that sort of thing one month and then next they get their bill.  Every time the invoices went out, we would get clients calling us asking what they can do to settle the case.

I would always think to myself why people would spend so much money to get divorced.  I feel it came down to the fact that there can be so much anger and emotion behind it.  The more emotion the hire the bill for the attorney.  Not a bad business to be in, but for me, I prefer a more honorable approach and help people get through divorce amicably when possible.

I know that getting divorced can be emotional, but if you treat it more like the end of a business relationship you will fare much better.

Feel free to give us a call to discuss how we can help you avoid spending a fortune on your divorce.

Santa Clarita Divorce Service Cheaper Than A Cup Of Coffee

If you have you have ever been in a sales career, you probably have also attended one or more sales seminars.  In these sales seminars you are supposed to learn how to convince people how to purchase your produce or service.

One of the ways they would show you how to do this is to break the price into a monthly amount (like when you are buying a car) instead of focusing on the total cost.

But the classic one is where you are supposed to tell people that your service is cheaper than a cup of coffee.  And since you buy a cup of coffee every day, all you have to do is give up your coffee and voila you can afford whatever you want.

While getting divorced in not one of life’s essentials, nor is it something you should give up your Starbucks for, it is something that an overwhelming majority of families in California go through every year.

Full Service Divorce Firm In Santa Clarita

We are a full service divorce firm in Santa Clarita. This means that we take care of the entire process from start to finish for you.

The divorce process is confusing and not fun when left to do yourself. There is a lot that can go wrong and is why we don’t want to leave it up to you. Besides, you won’t want to do it anyways.

So how is this different than other types of services out there. For starters, we should tell you that there is not anybody else in Santa Clarita providing a divorce service at all.

But what we hear about on a regular basis is folks who have wasted their money by going to either an unlicensed person who says they know how to prepare divorce documents who do a horrible job, or companies that say they will help you, but only have you answer a long questionnaire which plugs your answers into the forms.

The companies that do this are providing a dis-service. There are tons of automated form completion companies out there. The problem is that the forms are usually prepared incorrectly and they don’t help you understand the actual divorce process or help you to file and serve your forms. They basically leave you out to dry.

It is not your fault if you fell prey to one of these services. There is virtually no regulation and what rules there are don’t have an enforcement agency to stop it or penalize those who are out there.

When you decide you are going to get divorced, make sure to use our full service divorce company in Santa Clarita.  The divorce process and paperwork is too tricky to try and go it alone.

We look forward to hearing from you and answering your questions about divorce.
