This week host, Susan Guthrie, is joined by the woman who is changing the divorce process for couples and families forever!  Erin Levine, Founder and CEO of legal tech phenom, HelloDivorce is here to give you the FYI on DIY Divorce!

The statistics on traditional litigated divorces are staggering:

  • Recent national statistics suggest that a majority of divorce and separation cases (72%) involve at least one self-represented party.
  • Divorces that go to trial on two or more issues cost, on average, $23,300.
  • The average hourly rate for a divorce attorney is $270.
  • The average total cost of legal fees was $11,300 per spouse when a full-scope divorce attorney was involved.
  • Divorces take, on average, between 12 and 18 months to finalize.
  • Is it any wonder that most people going through divorce do not want to, or cannot afford to, hire attorneys?  In fact, there are a number of reasons why people choose a more Do It Yourself approach to the process and this week's guest, the Founder and CEO of Hello Divorce, Erin Levine, is here to give you the FYI on DIY Divorce so that you can take charge of the process yourself and know when and where to go if you need help! Erin is the leading expert on elawyering and online divorce in the country and she and Hello Divorce are here to support you as you face the legalities, and myriad other details, of divorce.
