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.

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)
