A Do it Yourself Divorce is completed without using a lawyer. To determine whether the DIY approach is right for you, here is an easy-to-use checklist. If you answer "yes" to all these questions, then a Do it Yourself Divorce should work for you:

1. Are you in agreement on all issues?
2. Are you satisfied that your spouse fully disclosed all his/her assets and income?
3. Are your assets relatively simple?
4. Are the children (if any) adequately provided for, in terms of custody, support and timesharing/visitation?
5. Do you believe the settlement is "fair and reasonable?"

If you answered "yes" to these questions, you have several choices:

1. Purchase a state-specific book, if one is available. The $20 to $30 is often a real bargain. Caveat: There are so-called "national divorce books" allegedly good in all 50 states. The editors at DivorceNet.com advise against these national books because divorce laws are highly state specific.
2. If you feel confident enough to create your own agreement, and are good at following instructions and filling out blank forms, consider using uslegalforms.com in conjunction with your state book. Forms usually run between $25 and $50. DivorceNet's editors have worked with US Legal Forms for over three years and have not received a single complaint.
3. Finally, there is one high-end product ($249) offering on-line, interactive document preparation. DivorceNet's editors are impressed with the ease and intuitive nature of completecase.com. It is customized for most states and includes telephone support. If you are not good with forms, or need that extra bit of help, it's well worth the money.

If you can't agree between yourselves, you should consider either attempting mediation or retaining an attorney.
