Trying to muddle through a divorce without legal representation could contribute to a bigger financial and relationship mess, Nashville divorce attorney, Francis King, has disclosed.

The founder of Law Offices of Francis King said, ‘When people ask me if they can represent themselves, I say, "Sure, you can. But, let me ask you this. If you have cavities in your teeth, do you fill them yourself or do you go to a dentist? If you break your leg do you set it yourself, or do you go to a doctor?’ Self-help is great, but not if you don’t know what you’re doing.”
King emphasised that, while a person can decide to hire a lawyer at any time before the divorce process concludes, doing so at the outset avoids unnecessary problems and will likely work out better in the long run.
"Even if the parties are amicable and want to negotiate between themselves, an attorney can offer advice about essential issues and what a court would likely do if they couldn't agree. This sets the boundaries for discussion and prevents arguments over irrelevant matters.”
"And if an attorney is called in early, the relevant areas will be covered before they file and may help shorten the process or help negotiate an agreement," King said
When an attorney is called in late, they will be entering into an already established conflict over issues that may not be relevant - but once those emotions are triggered, it is hard to go back.
A person looking to conduct their case themselves could be faced with many legal technicalities they had not considered: dealing with the ex-spouse's attorney; learning the local court rules, trying to introduce evidence to a judge, and when to object. This can be overwhelming.
"It is challenging for a non-attorney to navigate their case from a legal standpoint and to put aside emotions and approach their case objectively," said King. The best approach is to seek guidance from a divorce attorney on what the process entails.”
"Family law is highly complex, and a person will face many different legal angles and questions, which could further delay their case if not addressed properly.” Matters such as financial planning, retirement accounts, property division, alimony and children should not be treated lightly.
"They get one shot at this, and there is a lot at stake. Do they want to risk everything and walk away in a worse position post-divorce than if they had hired an attorney to protect their interests upfront? That's not the result you want," warned King.
