I did my own divorce by picking up the book called: How To Do Your Own Texas Divorce. It had all of the paperwork needed with instructions. Check out your local book store in your state……..

Not in the U.S. Of course, doing it by yourself can save big buck$. In the NYC area, for example, the average lawyer probably charges $350/hr. That said, even if you're familiar with the law, know how to write, respectful to the court, judges and court attorneys do not like pro se litigants. If the opposing spouse has an attorney, they can be in cahoots and really torment you...motions denied, prohibited ex-parte communication, not taking you seriously, even having you pay the opposition's attorney's fees when you, yourself, are unrepresented, etc.

Eagleye - my friend's daughter is getting a divorce - it must be the longest divorce proceedings ever - over three years now and my friend is subsidizing this - so better be a good lawyer - I would have fired this lawyer some years ago. Just do not understand it.
