Is a lawyer required to get a divorce?
Yes, each spouse must have their own lawyer to divorce, whether it is an amicable divorce or not. If one of the spouses refuses to hire a lawyer or to divorce, the procedure can still continue without him. In this case, he will not be able to defend his rights during the divorce.
