Can a Paralegal Help Me with a Divorce?

Absolutely. The cold, hard truth is that divorces are often overwhelmingly complex. Divorces include all kinds of complicated forms that have to be filled out with incredible attention to detail.  In addition, divorces are very emotional and stressful. Most people do not want to have to draft alimony or child support requests while they process the painful fallout from a divorce.

The good news is that paralegals can handle these kinds of tasks so that you don’t have to. Paralegals can help you prepare divorce-related documents, like proof of income documents and real estate letters. They can also help you with filing those forms by mail or by eFiling them.  Finally, paralegals can provide you with some general information about the divorce process.

Keep in mind, however, that paralegals cannot provide specific legal advice.  They also cannot represent you in court or at settlement negotiations.

Paralegal vs. Lawyer

People often ask about the benefits of paralegals vs. lawyers. Like an attorney, a paralegal is a legal professional who can handle certain legal matters. The main difference between the two is that paralegals cannot give specific legal advice, practice law, or sign legal documents. Lawyers can. Yet basic legal aid is something a paralegal can provide to their clients.  The relationship between paralegals and lawyers is somewhat analogous to nurses and doctors. Nurses may not be able to formally diagnose a patient with a disease or perform surgery, but they regularly provide life-saving medical care.

For most clients, having a paralegal assist them greatly improves their experience with the legal process. Highly experienced paralegals can be almost as knowledgeable about the legal process as some attorneys. Most importantly, paralegals provide their services at a fraction of the cost of an attorney, making them affordable for most people.
