Frequently Asked Questions

Can you tell me how to file my own divorce?

We are not attorneys. Furthermore, by law, we cannot:

Give any legal advice.
Give any instructions on filing your divorce.
Answer any questions on the accuracy of your papers.
Answer any questions on how to present your case to the judge.

If you intend to represent yourself pro se (without the help of an attorney) you must know how to prepare and file the proper pleadings yourself and present your case to the court.
