Mediation vs. Do-It-Yourself Divorce

There’s nothing to mediate, so we don’t need a mediator. This is the thought of a large number of couples who want to avoid unnecessary cost when the divorce is reasonably amicable.

For a couple who isn’t arguing, the idea of do-it-yourself divorce sounds excellent. Download some forms, fill them out, pay the filing fees, and it’s done.
