go to the county where divorce is going to be filed. ask for the free assistence there.

I did that and got no help. Small country town where are they not used to someone trying to do their own divorce the lady at the court clerk's office said she'd never seen anyone come in without an attorney lol

i had highly doubt that that clerk's experience is the final word on that, but what do I know.

maybe a legal aid agency?

Try your local library.. all the forms you need should be in a book there.

Just my 2 cents here. My ex and I divorced amicably also, we were going to try filing on our own, it turned out to be MUCH more difficult then we first thought.. we found a lawyer, sat with her for a free consultation, and for a fairly minimal fee she completed the forms and filed them for us, because we were filing amicably, we only needed the one lawyer - something to think about.

Also, amicably or not - be careful! be sure you're looking out for your future needs, and the needs of your children (if you have them) its not a natural feeling putting yourself above your husband.. but when it comes down to splitting things up between you - be sure you're looking out for yourself, because he's not. Its emotionally challenging enough, without adding the legal paperwork - it may be worth your time to look into a free consultation.

Most attorneys will give you a free consultation. When I was shopping around for mine, I got three. One gave me 15 minutes over the phone whereas another one gave me a whole hour in his office! You should call around and get as much free legal advice as you can.

In my state it's $30 for 30 min. Go in prepared with specific questions and good answers, and a list of your holdings, everything you have to split. Write things down now, the way you think you want to split things up. That will tell you a lot about whether this is going to stay amicable or not. It will also show the attorney what you have and that is a list that he or she can look at and ask good questions from.

Thank you I should have said initially I have had and consultation with an attorney. She's the one that said you don't need an attorney just do-it-yourself we have no children at home and agree on everything. I walked away from the house because there's no equity a lien on the house and it's falling apart I quit claimed it to him good luck with that to him. I'm still covering his insurance but will be dropping him first of the year other than that there are no assets to split it's very simple and the separation agreement is already done all I need is that initial paperwork it just has to be somewhere online but I can't find it

Can you make a quick phone call to the attorney who you consulted with to find out? You'll probably get the receptionist or paralegal on the phone, they should be able to give you a quick answer.

I contacted the website that my husband used for the divorce papers it appears he was lying about it not being complete I think he thinks I'll keep covering his health insurance if we're not divorced boy is he wrong

In MD we went online and downloaded the Sep. Agreement and paper with complaint of divorce. $89 then got it Notarized and filed with district court $165 . Then I had to serve husband, which i did and he signed , filled those and 30 days later, Next Monday we have court. any Missing paper work can be down loaded on internet for your State and county. This is the website we used, it asks questions and fills in the legal part for you. All were accepted by our court. www.divorcelawinfo.com
