With all this talk of divorces being expensive, it's no wonder that more and more people are turning to the "DIY divorce." It's certainly a feasable alternative to employing the services of a divorce lawyer. Some people are very good at doing things themselves, of course, there are others who aren't so good. All you have to do is go to your local County Court and get hold of the required forms. You need to be aware however that the staff at the courts are unable to provide you with legal advice. This means you need to spend quite a bit of time learning the process of getting divorced in the UK. Also, you will need to take any responsibility if you do anything wrong - you cannot simply blame your lawyer as you don't have one.
