Yes, especially if there are few if any joint assets or if there's no children and/or no disagreements about how property will be divided.

Yes, it's very simple but a lot of paperwork. Well worth spending your time by doing it yourself. Go to the Clerk of Court and get necessary papers. Some States have a telephone number to call and they will send them to you in the mail. If both parties sign the papers, they are presented to the Court, then a date is set for the final decree. The one who initiate the proceedings will have to be in court on that date, the other does not. Even if children and properties are involved, you still don't need a lawyer. As long as both parties agree, even visitation rights for each. Remember, if there is any child support, make sure it is in keeping with those laws of your State. You normally get everything you need in the Divorce Package. It's very easy............Good Luck.

Yes, if you have kids or any property, go to a mediator first to settle who gets what and who is going where and at what time. Be very specific. Once you have settled on those issues, go to your local family court house and file the papers. Each of you will need to file and serve the other. Then you just make a court date and go before the judge. I'm speaking from personal experience, this is exactly what my x and I did.

Yes. All you have to do is go to the courthouse in your city and fill out papers and for a fee the courts will grant a divorce if it's not contested by the other party

In the UK there is the postal divorce. If both parties agree, the form is completed and sent to the courts, no lawyer involved.

Yes! the only reason people use lawyers is to explain the law and help you to understand the results of it.

It is possible, if the split is amicable, and you are both willing to agree to the seperation of assets and to any alimony or child support payment.
Good Luck, and sorry to hear that you are going through this

Yes, if there are no complications such as children or a lot of assets, you can file the papers yourself.
