- Is your divorce a fault or a no-fault divorce? Keep in mind that in some states all divorces are no-fault divorces, and in others all are fault divorces. In fault divorces it's a good idea to get a lawyer, but it's not required.
- Is your divorce (fault or no fault) contested or uncontested? In contested divorces (even no-fault divorces) it's highly advisable to find a lawyer in order to defend your interests. In uncontested divorces (which can be fault or no fault), you may not need a lawyer if you and your spouse agree on how to divide property, assets and child custody.
- Are there children involved? Children can complicate the divorce process, so you may want to find a lawyer to help you set up a parenting plan, help with custody arrangements, and tell you about your state's custody and support laws.
- Are you interested in a collaborative divorce? If your divorce is uncontested, and you and your spouse don't wish to spend time and money on litigation, a collaborative divorce may be right for you. You and your spouse would work together with your lawyers to create a Divorce Settlement and child custody agreement, and you would agree not to go to court.
