Has anyone gone the DIY route for their divorce?
I live in New York and have been legally separated for more than a year. I tried reaching out to the lawyer my wife and I used to set up our separation but they are not returning my emails or phone calls. While I was looking for another lawyer I took a peek at the divorce packet and instructions online, it certainly seems complicated but not insurmountable. I'm thinking of just tackling this myself since my wife and I are in agreement on things and all of the details are already hashed out in the separation agreement. Has anyone else gone this route? What was the outcome?
Thanks

Sounds like you're looking into a DIY uncontested divorce?
No experience, sorry. Sounds pretty doable however, especially if you're both in agreement and willing to make things move forward, and there aren't complicating factors (kids, debts, etc).
I do share your experience with lawyers being not ideally invested in the processes though...
