Although all divorce cases start out with the filing of a divorce petition, sometimes the complexity or level of conflict in your case changes as the case progresses. If things start out amicably, but your divorce gets messier after you file the initial divorce petition, it does not necessarily mean that you need a lawyer.

In most instances, the person doing most of the work on your divorce papers is a California divorce paralegal employed at the law firm. Instead of paying inflated hourly rates to an attorney solely to work through their divorce paralegal, you should have a California non-attorney legal document assistant prepare your divorce documents.

I also think that applying some basic rules of gardening to the legal profession can yield a more bountiful and satisfying law practice.
