They filled out all of their own paperwork and represented themselves the one time they actually had to appear in court. I think it only cost them $100 in filing and court fees. Not sureif you could do that in all states (This was Ohio).
As for the pre-nup, I like the idea of the experation date in theory, but it could get a little sticky if they decide to pull a Donald Trump. I don;t know if you can put in any other continencies- such as they have to go to couseling before separating (and if they don't then the prenup holds) or something.

I know you can do a no-frills dissolusion for filing and court costs in Ohio, but I think it's around $400 and a one-month process. Still, it's too easy.
Luckily, it takes longer to disolve a marriage than get into one. Maybe it will encourage couples to think about their vows it a little bit before pulling the plug.
