The Divorce Line

If you’re like most people going through divorce, your head is swimming with horror stories about lawyers, depositions, court dates, trials, and legal fees. Lots and lots of legal fees. It certainly is true that some people lose control of their divorce and spend all their money (and then some!) getting divorced.

Fortunately, most people don’t get caught in this trap. They gather the information they need, negotiate with their spouse, and get divorced – calmly, with a measure of dignity. You and your spouse can too, if you’ll gather the key information you need early in the divorce process.

That’s why the Divorce Line is here. It offers hours of recorded information specifically tailored to the needs of people who are divorcing in the Birmingham area and who are trying to stay reasonably cooperative with their spouse.
