Would spending a bit more and having a lawyer draw one be the safer/smarter route?

I'd say that if you're describing your life situation accurately, you can probably do a do-it-yourself kit and be fine. When and if things change in your life, I'd highly recommend a lawyer's involvement, however. Making changes and dealing with greater complexity on your own can be fraught with peril.
On the other hand, I am no fan of the do-it-yourself bankruptcy filings. I've seen too many people really screw up their lives trying to do that for themselves and only getting themselves into a deeper financial morass.
FYI, I wish to make it clear that this post reflects my personal feelings on the matter and is not intended to be legal advice!
