October 22, 2010-Representing Yourself- Buyer Beware

You may have seen on television ads for companies  that purport to offer divorce forms for $39.99. Please be aware of the maxim: Let the buyer beware.  We have had numerous calls from clients who purchased forms such as this only to receive them and be bewildered.  These companies often offer a “one size fits all” approach to divorce.  They send you the forms with blanks and expect you to be able to complete them correctly.  The problem is, one size does not fit all in the legal world.  Different states and different counties have specific rules.  Your divorce may not be the same as another person’s across town or across the state.  MissouriDivorceSource takes a personalized approach to your divorce.  We learn about your situation and prepare all of the divorce documents to your specifications.  A real lawyer will call you after submission of the online form. You will not “fill in a blank.”  In fact, if your divorce is rejected because of a defect in our forms, we will fix it for free. Check with the “$39.99″ company and see if they will offer that kind of guarantee.
