Divorce can
be an emotional and stressful experience. Whether
you plan on hiring a lawyer or not, eventually
your divorce process will begin with completing
and filing the appropriate state specific divorce
forms with the family law department of the county
court house.
If you are
in an uncontested divorce situation, filing your
own divorce is certainly a viable option for you.
Doing your own divorce will save you quite a bit
in lawyer fees and you and your spouse will have
complete control of your own divorce. If you do
decide to take this "do it yourself"
route, you are not alone. Thousands of people
each years throughout the U.S. file their own
divorce successfully without hiring a divorce
lawyer (We have heard that over 50% of uncontested
divorces filed in New York City are without a
divorce lawyer).
A proper and
successful divorce starts with state specific
divorce papers or forms. Each state has unique
divorce laws, which means the filing procedure
and the divorce paperwork will vary from state-to-state.
Sometimes the difference is significant and other
times it will only vary slightly. The divorce
forms are typically formatted differently but
also have unique titles, like a Divorce Complaint
rather than a Petition for Divorce or a Judgment
rather than a Decree. Sometimes a filing spouse
is referred to as the Petitioner and other states
it is the Plaintiff. Anyway, our multiple options
below will address these state specific issues
and many others to make sure that your documents
are correct and are accepted by the family law
court in your county.
You can go
to many sites on the internet using a google search,
or just go to our map and
find your state.
