Things absolutely depend on what state you re in. Here in Washington state, there are what are called quot;family law facilitatorsquot; and they re at the courthouse. In most states (NY being an exception) they are quot;no faultquot; states, so you have the absolute right to a divorce. You would basically fill out a Summons amp; Petition for Dissolution and probably some other paperwork required by your jurisidiction. Take it to your county clerk, pay the filing fee and get a cause number. I don t know if you have any assets or liabilities to split up, but you ll have to address those too. You ll have to arrange to have your ex served (you can t do it yourself unless he agrees to accept service) and wait for the required time period. After the waiting period has passed, you can prepare the final papers (here it s Findings of Fact amp; Conclusions of Law and the Decree of Dissolution) appear before the family court judge and after asking a few questions, you should be granted a divorce. If your ex intends to contest it, he would probably have to get a lawyer to do it. If that happens, I would recommend contacting your state or county bar association for the name of an attorney would would be willing to represent you for little or no cost. Good Luck.
From the way it sounds, its a contested divorce. Meaning your husband is fighting it. If this is the case there is no way, that I know of, to get a divorce without the assistance of a lawyer. Your ex will fight you for the rest of your lives if he wants. I am not all too sure what a lawyer does to make a divorce go through when its finalized, but I have learned from reading up on divorce that you need a lawyer to go through with a contested divorce. Maybe contact a lawyer for a free consultation? They may be able to give you some ideas as to what you can do. Don t bother with legal aid, they re of no help whatsoever....that s why they re free.
if you and your ex are being reasonable and cooperative, search for a specialist in Collaborative Divorce in your area. Sit down with your ex and talk out all the details of the split as fairly as possible, and write it all down. Take the notes to the collaborative attorney and firmly explain that you want to do this yourselves, and he/she only needs to translate your wishes into quot;legalesequot; on the right forms and paperwork. He/she will talk with you both together to be sure you both know what you re getting into, and will advise you both to also seek your own lawyers, which you can decide about yourself. The collaborative attorney will tell you how to file the documents at the courthouse, etc. This will ONLY work of you and your ex are on good, reasonable, cooperative terms. Put all the anger away and work together for a solution, and you can make this work. fyi: my ex and I did this, and we spent less than three grand to get divorced. Also, we avoided all the pettiness and tit for tat crap that gets stirred up when both parties get separate lawyers. Remember, the more the lawyers stir the pot, the more work they do, the more you pay them.
My husband ( exhusband) and I did this and we had a child involved. We simply went down to the courthouse asked for the papers and the price of the filing fee, filled out the papers, we did have to do parenting classes on the effects of divorce on chilfren etc... But over all we filled out the papers and filed them ourselves, I believe some one will look over them before they reach the judge just to make sure they are filled out correctly.
you can go to the court house and just ask for divorce papers...you fill them out you go back to court and pay the small filing fee...they will serve him.. I know here in Santa Clara Ca they have a mobile bus as well with a preprestative that will help with divorce, child support or what ever legal matter you have.. Do you have a free legal aid place you could go to? we have that here too.
It s only a problem if it s contested or there s a matter of properties / monies involved. If both of you don t care, you can get the papers at your local court house. But you still have to pay for it.Might be a couple hundred dollars.
all you have to do is go to the court buy the papers. here in florida it s 25 dollars or u can download and print them but it s alot of pages! then fill everything out drop it back at the courthouse and pay a filing fee and a notarized fee which is like 369 down here. no lawyers. may take a little time but you get it done yourself
Try talking to legal aid or a legal clinic in your area. They charge much less (if anything) and can explain how much you can do on your own, and in which areas you might want (or require) a professional s assistance.
Book stores sell do it your self divorce books with forms enclosed, but you will have to pay filing fees, unless you can file for him to pay, check that out. My sister did this.
good do it yourself divorce. Many websites will come up. If you do not have kids/property or any other assets that you are fighting over, you should be able to do it yourself. Best of luck
You can get a divorce online. I heard as little as $500 You can also go through the legal system without a lawyer... file the papers yourself. That also costs money... depends on where you live.
Depends on the state and the circumstances. Start with a trip to the local clerk of court and talk to them; then legal aid.
I dont think you can.
I always thought it wasn t possible without a lawyer. isn t there some information on the internet about it?
You only need a lawyer if it gets ugly. Go to your courthouse and they can help you.
There must be a book or a google-referenced page on this one.
