Depending on the amount of assets and income of the parties involved, a DIY divorce may result in considerable losses immediately following or/and long after the project is seemingly successfully accomplished. The losses may be monetary, they may involve repeated court appearances after the divorce judgment is entered or they may (and often do) include both. In my experience, the losses generally come from the need to litigate support payments and arrears and originate in poorly formulated support provisions in the marital settlement agreement (MSA).
