Can I filed for divorce without any lawyers involve? ?

Question

I`m afraid they will take all our hard earn money, I need to know how to start, and where can I go to check for what`s the legal amount my kids should get from their father, do not get me wrong, I`m not after money, but after what is fair, he cheated and verbal abused me for too long, I`m done with the cycle, no more forgiven moments for him.

Answer 1

Go to your state gov page and seek the papers needed.  However, I would seek a reputable divorce attorney in your area to answer your legal questions.  A consultation fee should be minimal.  It isn't necessary to hire one.  Make your intentions clear up front.  Last item on the agenda, REMAIN amicable!

Good Luck.  

Answer 2

Sweetie, You can get all the forms you need at your local court house.  There will be fee's   but cheaperr than an attorney!

In the forms  there will be instructions on what your wantin from the divorce.

If you have been with him awhile, don't forget to request half of his retirement.  Even Alimony.   It pisses them off, but you know what.............I feel it makes them better men for the next relationship if there is on.

You can alot of times find Filling for Divorce book at Wal-Mart too.  Or any bigger book store.

The state determines how much child support you get automatically.   It's just the norm for that. They have a guide line they follow.

Good Luck, and I hope you can hold your head high!!

Answer 4

did you force him to cheat?  was he getting the love he needed from you or did you force him to find it somewhere else?  and im sure this wasnt the first time he treated you this way and you still had kids with him.  sounds like you should try some other way then going thru a divorce.  maybe like making him feel like the other woman makes him feel. at some point you must have had feelings for him and you can always get that back.  

if you think lawyers will take your money try to raise your kids by yourself and see how well you can do. paying for all the bills and the needs of your kids will be twice as hard if you only have your money and the child support.  it just wont do and is that really whats best for your kids.  or are you just thinking of whats best for you?

if you must get a lawyer you and you future ex can use the same lawyer and that would save half the money. but really think hard if this is in your kids best interest and do you want to only see your kids half the time?  he will get to have them sometime and you need to think about that also.

I don't know how much this will help but from personal experience if your spouse is a jerk the best thing is to get some kind of advice/consultation before file.  There could be a lot of things.  If you can prove he is a cheater you can get a divorce in 30 days but if not it will take a year and you can not have the same residency.  Do your research for your state and county before you file.
