What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania
I was married in 2004, gave my husband a kidney in 2010, and moved out of our marital home in January 2013 and filed for divorce in the same month. Initially when I filed for divorce we were amicable, although there was latent underlying hostility. After 3 months my husband was no longer willing to negotiate our divorce settlement, so my attorney filed for spousal support (which my husband knew I never wanted in the first place) and made a motion to freeze his assets. When my husband received the paperwork from the court, he was more than willing to negotiate if I dropped the spousal support and freezing of his assets, which of course I did. It has been almost 2 years now and my husband and I have repaired our friendship and came up with an agreement a year ago, in fact, we have already settled most of the items already that were on our agreement. I have paid $4,000 in attorney's fees. In order to finalize our divorce my attorney is looking for another $2,000 to incorporate our agreement into the final divorce decree. There weren't many assets to split up in this marriage, and it seems silly to spend over 1/2 of my settlement on legal fees. Is it possible to file the remaining paperwork to complete our divorce ourselves?
