Should I File for a Divorce Without a Lawyer in Montana?
-
A Lawyer May Not Be Needed
-
It is possible to file for divorce without a lawyer in Montana. The benefits are generally reduced costs, and a simplified procedure. It can even be done through filing the initial forms online and appearing before a judge. Not having a lawyer makes for an expedited process as well.
-
Lawyers Represent Your Interests
-
A good lawyer will represent your interests in the division of property, and in dealing with alimony, child support and parental visitation rights. Particularly if there's jointly held debt, or jointly owned property, a lawyer is a prudent investment.
Bottom Line
-
Unless this is a very amicable divorce, which Montana supports, hire a lawyer to look out for your interests in a divorce settlement.
