You Have Options. You're Not Alone.

A full-time attorney costs $15K-$50K+. Many people can't afford that. But you have alternatives: free legal aid, fee waivers, unbundled services (hire for specific tasks), pro bono lawyers, and mediation. DivorcePro fits into any of these paths.

FREE Legal Help (Really Free)

• Legal Aid Organizations: Provide free legal services to low-income individuals. Qualify based on income. Google "legal aid [your state]"
• Bar Association Referrals: Many bar associations maintain pro bono lawyer lists. Call your state bar.
• Law School Clinics: Free legal services run by law students (supervised by professors). Call local law schools.
• Court Fee Waivers: If you can't afford court filing fees, you can petition the court to waive them (Form in Forma Pauperis)
• Military JAG (if applicable): Free legal assistance for military members and families
• Domestic Violence Services: Many provide free attorney consultations for survivors

Low-Cost Options

• Unbundled Services: Hire a lawyer for specific tasks only (review your agreement, represent you at one hearing, write a letter). Cost: $500-$2,000 vs. $15K+
• Mediation: $3,000-$5,000 for the whole divorce if both spouses cooperate
• DIY + Limited Consultation: Do the work, pay a lawyer $500-$1,000 to review before filing
• Online Services: LegalZoom, Rocket Lawyer, CompleteCase ($99-$299) for document prep

How to Find the Best Path for Your Situation

Step 1: Assess Your Case Complexity

• Simple: No kids, no major assets, both agree → DIY or low-cost document service
• Moderate: Kids or assets, some disagreement → Mediation or unbundled legal help
• Complex: Hidden assets, custody fight, major property → Full attorney (try to negotiate reduced fees or payment plan)

Step 2: Use Free Resources First

• Call your local Legal Aid office (free consultation)
• Contact your state bar association pro bono program
• Ask if there's a law school clinic nearby

Step 3: Use DivorcePro ($49)

• Organize your case completely
• Go into free legal consultations prepared
• If you do mediation, you'll be organized and efficient (saves time = saves money)
• If you DIY, you'll have all necessary documentation
