Do I need an
attorney?

You are not required to hire an attorney to represent you in a divorce proceeding or to file the necessary paperwork on your behalf. We highly encourage you to contact an attorney as contested divorce proceedings require extensive preparation and can be emotionally exhausting. Depending on the complexities of your case, you may benefit from discussing all of your legal options and having an attorney negotiate on your behalf.
