Re: Divorce Attorney...
If it's amicable I'd suggest the Divorce Mediation Center on Jericho in Commack. If they are not suing each other they have to be legallly separated for one year and then the divorce can be granted. It's a lot cheaper.
DH"s divorce was amicable and with attorney's fees still cost him over 8K... not including other payments to his ex.

Re: Divorce Attorney...
My lawyer did the petition for us. I imagine you can submit it on your own....I just have no idea how you would go about doing that.

You can do it through a mediator. Many mediators are lawyers or they are trained in filling out the paperwork necessary for a legal separation.
I had a couple of friends who got the forms on their own and only used a lawyer to submit the paperwork to the judge. Saved a lot of $$$

My friend used a mediator. It was significantly less money than going through it with divorce attorneys.
