If you’re thinking of a DIY divorce, then all of the documents that you will need to complete and file with the courts can be obtained from your local county court or downloaded from www.justice.gov.uk. Whilst all of the documents that you will need in order to file for your own divorce can be downloaded from this site, however, the courts do not offer any guidance on which documents you will and will not need to complete, how to complete them or when they should be filed. This information can be obtained from a variety of resources, but many people find the thought of completing and filing them without assistance somewhat daunting and seek the help of solicitors, online divorce companies, friends with legal experience as a result or the Citizen’s Advice Bureau. If you are au faux with legal documents then there is no reason why you cannot complete your own divorce paperwork, file it with the court and finalise your divorce unassisted. If, however, you also want to sever the financial ties that will continue to exist between you even following your divorce having been finalised, then it is highly advisable that assistance is sought.
