Help Guides
The whole divorce process involves many forms, applications, things to think about, decisions to be made, steps to be taken and it is easy to get lost and overwhelmed. I was a litigant in person for 5 years during my divorce and what I needed most was a website where:
All the information about every aspect of divorce was available in one site like a reference guide.
All the information was written in simple sentences for me to grasp instantly.
The information wasn’t too detailed or complicated to understand and I felt empowered to attempt a process.
I was given the step by step procedures of doing certain things.
And I was given an insight into what to expect, what really happens and what I can do when certain situations arise so I can deal with them with confidence.
