Anyone here go through an uncontested divorce in Pennsylvania without hiring lawyer?
My husband and I are separating and thankfully things are still relatively peaceful between us
we already agreed on finances and property, so we’ve been trying to avoid spending a huge amount on attorneys if we can realistically handle the process ourselves
What surprised me is how confusing the Pennsylvania paperwork side feels once you actually start researching it
online everyone talks about uncontested divorce like it’s simple, but then you open court instructions and suddenly there are affidavits, notices, filing timelines and a bunch of legal language that makes everything feel way more intimidating than expected
For people in Pennsylvania who handled divorce yourselves:
did the DIY route actually work out for you, or did you eventually feel like hiring a lawyer would’ve been less stressful?
Mostly just trying to get through this process correctly without turning an already emotional situation into months of paperwork problems
