If so, how is it possible? If the couple can agree to "terms" themselves and don't have the money to hire divorce attorneys is it possible for them to do the petitioning, filing, etc. on their own. Where may they get their hands on these forms? What about if they are expecting a child? Is it possible for them to do it on their own if they agree to custody arrangements?

You can get forms online by going to your State's judicial or court web site. If you can do the filing yourself, they will have the forms there along with instructions for filing.

Yes ... you don't need attorneys and you can represent yourself ... if you both can agree to everything and file the correct paperwork ... ( you can find on-line or at your local court house ) ... I filed myself and won by default ( he didn't send any paperwork back ) ... it takes a lot of hard work and a lot of communication between you and your future ex ... after you file your paperwork and pay the fees ( a few hundred ) you'll get a court date ... you'll meet up for mediation and that's where you'll come to an agreement for everything maybe even custody ( but since the baby isn't here yet that might be a little harder ) ... good luck ... there's a lot of information out there you just need to look ... !

Go to court house and get the papers. fill them out. file them and when you will them out state that you are both in aggreement to the divorce and both agree to all that is contained in the petition. The judge will read it and sign it. Your done.
It will still cost the filing fees, but not as much as attorney.

I got divorced without an attorney. we have one child but came to an agreement and we didn't need lawyers. we filled out the paperwork ourselves and filed it. OfficeMax has a packet with the forms and also any additional info you may need for your state is in the packet.

I live in CA. The courthouse has a help center that will help.
Remember that attorneys can cost quite alot of money. Also, most of the stuff in your house has no value. All that is of value is real estate, stocks, bonds, savings, and checking.
I quickly got rid of attorney. My wife keep hers for some time, then got rid of hers.

If he left a joint account open, then he's at fault. close the economic corporation account, and get a sparkling one at a distinctive economic corporation. He would could pay the overdraft to get out from below and close the account, yet 260.00 is greater useful than 2600.00 or greater. He needs to get his call off the debts at her economic corporation. this could have occurred over a three hundred and sixty 5 days in the past. And he needs to work out his criminal expert approximately getting a judgment against her for no longer turning over the stuff. a pal replaced into arrested whilst her hubby did no longer get what he replaced into meant to get on time. decide held her in contempt of the courtroom order. 15 years in the past.

I think it is possible. I did it! We didnt have collateral and we didnt have children togethter so it was simple. If there is material things and children involved then you may need to get an attorney. Use your best judgement. If you can settle things without one, then go for it!

You can complete the paperwork for an "uncontested divorce" on www.legalzoom.com I've heard the commercials - this is not a commercial, only a suggestion

Contact you county's courthouse/clerk's office about the forms.
