Need Legal Assistance? Save Money – Hire a Paralegal
By April Claeyssens
There will probably come a time in your life when you will need or want to seek legal advice or legal services. One of the first questions you might ask yourself is can a paralegal assist you rather than an attorney? The answer is yes. Hiring a paralegal will save you time, money and stress. So, if you need legal assistance but don’t have the money required to hire an attorney, consider hiring a paralegal.
First you should know that a paralegal cannot give you any legal advice. For that you’ll need an attorney. But if you’re looking to find someone to start or complete legal forms or do legal research and much more, then your most cost effective alternative would be to hire a paralegal. Paralegals offer a practical solution at a fraction of the cost of what attorneys charge.

For Mary McCurnin and husband Ron Bednar, money trouble has followed health trouble. In 2003, the couple declared bankruptcy after their insurance covered only 10 percent of treatment costs for her breast cancer and his intestinal bleeding. In 2004, McCurnin’s breast cancer returned, and Bednar underwent open heart surgery.
Now, after repeatedly refinancing their house to pay medical bills and living expenses, they’re broke. To improve their chances of growing old together, they’ve filed for divorce.
“It occurred to me that I could get my first husband’s Social Security,” said McCurnin. Her first husband, to whom she’d been married 20 years, died in 1989. When she turns 60 in November, McCurnin said she will be eligible for $1,200 in monthly survivor’s benefits from the previous marriage. As the Social Security Administration told her, she can’t have the survivor benefit if she’s married to someone else.

Divorce: Do You Need a Lawyer?
How divorce lawyers work.
You probably know of people who suffered the torments of hell going through divorce, and you also probably know people who pulled it off without much fuss. Why are some divorces sensible and others catastrophic?
The answer depends on various factors, including the personalities of the people involved, the importance of what’s at stake, and sometimes on how much you rely on lawyers and courts to resolve troublesome issues. In general, the less you use the court, the less cost and heartache you’ll have — and in many cases, you’ll get a better final result. But how do you avoid courts and lawyers?
Make Divorce Decisions by Yourselves
In theory, at least, it’s simple: You usually do best if you and your spouse work out thorny issues together, perhaps with help from a neutral third person, such as a mediator. You keep control over such vital matters as how your children will be raised, what happens to the family home, and how your property will be divided. If you and your spouse can work these issues out yourselves — and many, if not most, couples can — you will save yourselves time, money, and anguish. More important, you will spare your children the ugly spectacle of extended parental fights, helping them come through the divorce as undamaged as possible.
