In an uncontested divorce, you can represent yourself. This is called pro se (without a lawyer). We have do it yourself uncontested divorce forms that can be downloaded to your computer and uncontested divorce form kits and uncontested divorce form handbooks that are shipped by standard mail.
The following checklist is to determine the suitability of your situation before filing for an uncontested divorce without a lawyer. If you answer "yes" to even one of the following questions, you should consult a lawyer before proceeding further.

BEFORE FILING FOR AN UNCONTESTED DIVORCE:

• Do you and your spouse have minor children and disagree on any child issues?
• Does your spouse hit, kick, or punch you or your children?
• Does your spouse threaten to hit, kick or punch you or your children?
• Are you afraid of your spouse?
• Are there disputed health insurance coverage issues affecting you, your spouse, or your children?
• If your spouse is in the military, do you disagree on any issues relating to the divorce?
• Do you and your spouse disagree about how to divide your home or other real estate?
• Do you and your spouse disagree about how to divide your retirement plan (such as a 401K, IRA, or pension plan)?
• Do you and your spouse disagree about how to divide your stocks or other investments?
• Do you and your spouse disagree about how to divide your business?
• Do you and your spouse disagree about how to divide your family trusts or inherited wealth?
• Do you or your spouse need alimony?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, or if there are other difficult factors associated with your marriage, you should consult an attorney to protect your legal rights. Remember, some of the terms of the final divorce order cannot be changed at a later time. You should not make hasty decisions regarding the terms of your divorce, or feel pressured to make any decisions you are uncomfortable with, as the outcome of your divorce case will affect the lives of you and your children for years to come.
