DIY Divorce: Is it for You?

You and your spouse have an open communication line.
The amount of trust you have for each other is still quite reasonable.
Both parties are willing to compromise.
Budget is tight or you just want to save. Hiring a law firm is not cheap.
You have the right attitude and temperament. The divorce process can be stressful and may trigger anxiety attacks and will test your patience.
Avoiding the court. Most DIY divorce are done through paperwork but some may require to attend a final hearing.
Not much assets to divide.
Your spouse is not a threat to your or your children’s safety.
