I also heard that you can get a do-it-yourself divorce on line for about $200.00. But how do you go about finding something like that. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Again, thank you.

I filed my own divorce in Multnomah County, Oregon. I downloaded the forms from the internet...
http://www.ojd.state.or.us/osca/cpsd/courtimprovement/familylaw/familylawforms.htm
See Packet 1 ; I would assume you can download the same forms for any state...
Then I filled them all out and set an appointment with Multnomah County to turn it all in. Make SURE to make an appointment, cause they will have a person sit down with you to review the papers and make sure everything is done right. You pay for it then as well ($368).
They give you two copies of the paperwork, one for you and one that needs to be served to the spouse. You can serve them with an officer, or have a friend or family member serve them for you. (you cannot serve your spouse yourself). The server has a form to fill out an sign. This form does NOT have to be notorized.
The court also gives you two more sets of paperwork. One to turn in 30 days after serving your spouse that says they do not dispute the divorce, and the 2nd to be turned in after 90 days. This is the final paperwork.
Good Luck! It is not as hard as people make it out to be. If you truly have no property to divide, no kids, no dispute, then do it yourself. Dont waste your money on lawyers and paralegals.

You can go online to your state's bar association and you can pick up the forms in any stationery store or Office Depot or Office Max has them.
The website usually tells which attorneys will do pro bono work.
If it doesn't call the state Bar Association phone number or calling your states' Legal Aid number might help.

I was told that your can buy the software for a divorce. Just download to your computer. But be careful, if you have equity, a home, car, kids, pension,savings- anything with a $ sign.
Also different divorce laws for different states. So my advise to you is ...if you have any issues with money matters, get a lawyer.
