Can I go through a divorce by myself and how would I do that?

Answered by attorney Ronald L Bornstein (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Ronald Bornstein, Attorney at Law
It is generally not a good idea to be unrepresented. Representation by independent counsel is very important, particularly when there are potential assets and liabilities that may be subject to equitable distribution, when there is real estate that is or may be marital, when there are minor children, when alimony may be at issue, and for other reasons. Many family law attorneys offer a free or low cost initial consultation in divorce cases, and it is well-worth the cost of getting educated on your potential rights and obligations. Consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation, and your options.

In short, generally no, you cannot, unless there has been domestic violence in some form, and even then, possibly not, because you are married and there is a child involved, even if it his child from a previous relationship. You may want to consider looking into doing a collaborative divorce in a situation like this, which generally is more cost-effective and time-effective than a litigated divorce.
