Do I need a divorce attorney to file for divorce?

A divorce attorney is not legally required for a divorce, but it's a very good idea, to make sure that your rights are fully protected. It is easy for non-lawyers to make technical mistakes or overlook ways to save money that a divorce lawyer would avoid. Also, during divorce proceedings sometimes one spouse will take advantage of the other spouse. An experienced divorce attorney can help you in many ways.
