When the paperwork is harder than the decisions Some cases and situations require legal advice and expertise and others do not. Many matters are amicably resolved between the parties without the assistance of lawyers, however, those who are unfamiliar with preparing legal documents may spend frustrating hours attempting to find forms, typing, copying and mailing their paperwork, and waiting in line at the Courts. With the assistance of Help Yourself Document Preparation Center, you will represent yourself in Court and know that all of the necessary documents have been properly prepared. We will meet with you at convenient times, protect your confidentiality, file documents for you, provide you with easy to understand questionnaires and support you throughout the time your case is pending. Help Yourself Document Preparation Center takes the worry and anxiety out of “doing it yourself” in situations where no attorneys are needed and the decisions and agreements have been made by the parties themselves. We can also assist one party, representing him or herself, who seeks to file a new case or forms to enforce an existing order. For a fee considerably less than what an attorney would charge, you can attain the peace of mind that will come with knowing that all the Court procedures have been followed and that the necessary documents are complete before they are filed or a Court hearing is held. You will act as your own attorney and an experienced paralegal will type your paperwork. Although we will type forms for self-represented parties in contested cases, we are not attorneys and cannot give legal advice, and encourage you to seek legal assistance or representation in those situations. The Colorado Courts believe in “divorce with dignity”, and recognize that spouses in a marital relationship are usually the most qualified decision makers with regard to the dissolution of their marriage and related issues. Their philosophy -- and ours -- is that family law matters are best handled in a prompt, non-adversarial and cost effective manner. In cases where children are involved, it has been shown that they will benefit the most from a situation where their parents and caretakers are able to put aside their differences and make decisions based on the best interests of the children on matters of lifelong importance. It has been shown that parties who come to agreements resolving their disputes will enjoy better cooperation, communication and compliance with Court orders in the future.
