Filing for Divorce in Florida: Money Saving Tip #1: Do all of the paperwork yourself. Divorce paperwork is what attorneys charge the most to do. Nobody likes to do the monotonous paperwork that surrounds a divorce case and this goes for the attorney too. By filing all of the paperwork yourself you will save hundreds if not thousands of dollars on your divorce. You can use your attorney to answer questions that you may have pertaining to certain forms but still fill the forms out yourself.

Each form has corresponding directions with it so you will have a better understanding of how to fill them out. Again, if you are unsure then consult your attorney regarding specific questions but do not hire the attorney just to file paperwork. The attorney can also tell you which forms you have to file and which ones are optional based on your case.
