The best advice I received years ago was to hire the lawyer you didn't want your spouse to get.

I don't think it matters much if a person going thru a divorce has an attorney or not because the majority of the "work" involved in explaining the situation to a Judge or Jury depends exclusively upon the Petitioner or the Defendant's facts, yet, it doesn't much matter if those facts are the truth or not because Judges and Juries have set biases and opinions about what "justifies" getting a "divorce" in the United States...whether it be personal, political or monetarily driven.
It's my personal opinion that if you're an honest person with justified reasoning for asking a U.S. Court of Law in all fairness and facts that divorcing someone is absolutely necessary...the U.S. Judicial System will NOT recognize this without honoring the opposing party's "right" to be validated, no matter if they're lying or not.
Hiring or getting "free" legal help in a divorce is NOT and never will be the solution to the problems that comes from an honest person who wants to freed from a dishonest person.

Get an attorney. And don't share the same one with your spouse.

A Dissolution in Minnesota really doesn't require a lawyer let alone two of those expensive buggers, you don’t have to appear in court just file..
If there’s no children or property you can download and submit the paperwork yourself as long as the two of you agree on disbursement.
If you have property it takes a few more smarts but it’s not impossible to do it yourself..
Divorce should be a last resort, most things are forgivable, work things out, the grass is not always greener would be my best advice.
If you can agree on dissolution issues and not fight over material goods you could get by with one lawyer..
Remember these lawyers are billing you by the hour every time you argue about who’s getting this or that the bill goes up and the Lawyer loves it!!
Be in total agreement on issues with your soon to be ex before you hit the lawyers office, have some paperwork an outline of your agreement as to
the division of your assets.
Good luck it’s not an easy decision, hope you can reconcile...

Expatriot...you are describing a civilized U.S. Divorce concept in which both parties are in agreement about divorcing each other. This type of divorce would work well for them.
I wonder how many of those actually happen vs the non-civilized divorce cases?
When someone doesn't want a divorce...they can make life hell for the person who does and quite honestly, having an attorney makes no difference, because the person who doesn't want the divorce has every vindictive intention to make the other person sufferer whether it be thru the use of children in common, financially or distribution of possessions by withholding them.
I honestly don't understand what the purpose is of some to hang onto the other party's belongings, destroy them or sell them, other than the fact that it just proves why the person who wanted a divorce was actually justified in doing so to begin with. Kind-hearted people don't change, no matter what they're going thru or how "hurt" they are. And, lawyers can't fix their choice to be unkind and uncooperative.

A civilized divorce, I don’t believe such an animal exists but I’d rather see the ex get the 20 or 40 grand that would have went to lawyers fees with a battle..
It could have easily turned to The War of the Roses (1989 Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner)....
