Consumers' Guide to Legal Help\nFree Legal Help \nAlabama \n\nThere are many legal aid and pro bono programs in communities that provide legal help for the poor. People with income below the federal poverty guidelines are generally eligible for free legal help through these programs. People who are elderly, disabled, the victims of domestic violence, enlisted in the military or in other special circumstances also may be eligible for help even if their income is a little higher.\n\nLegal Services\nFederally funded legal services offices provide lawyers who are experts in helping poor people with legal problems.

The laws are different in every state which is one reason why you shouldn't search for legal advice online.  Your best choice would be to visit your local public LAW library.  In California, each county has one and I believe it is mainly the same throughout the country.  The librarian cannot give legal advice, but can point you in the right direction and show you how to research the information yourself.  An alternative, would be to see a paralegal who handles family law matters.  They are significantly less expensive than an attorney.

I think Prisons have free divorce help, he needs to ask. If not, the papers are free on line. With no children, and no assets, he should have no problem filing as a low income person in the state, or one of the counties he is incarcerated in. Just needs to check on the computer for prices in each county.

You can file yourself.  You can find documents online.  There's also a kit you can buy a "no fault divorce kit" but that does cost money, like $35.00.\n\nYou will also have to pay to file at the courthouse.  You might talk to DHS or something in your state to find out if they have some sort of community action project that helps with these kinds of things. \n\nIf there isn't community property then it should be easier than if you share cars/house/kids etc...\n\nUnfortunately if they don't have some sort of community action thing in your state, you might be up a creek and you will have to shell out a few dollars.  It should be less than $100 though.

CALL THE COURTHOUSE IN THAT CITY AND ASK FOR A COPY OF THE DIVORCE DECREE. THEY WILL CHARGE FOR COPIES ( it varies) BUT IT IS OPEN TO PUBLIC RECORDS FROM THE COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE.

find your city hall website and see if you can download the paperwork. or go to the county courthouse and see if they can help. if not try your local legal aid to see if they can help you with a no fault divorce for around $50.00

Below is a link which will take you to a site provided by the courts of California for self help in divorce, separation and/or annulment. \n\nhttp://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/family/divorce/\n\nYou do not necessarily have to be re[presented by a lawyer in divorce proceeding though it is always best to seek legal counsel. Specifically if divorce is contested and there are issues regarding division of real property and assets.\n\nHope this helps!!

Get a lawyer - some will take your case & get payment from your husband plus attend some type pyschological counseling.  You  are being screwed here.   You are entitled to  spousal support; plus visitation.  File an OSC & ask attorney to go ex-parte to get  you temporary financial support until the hearing.\nYou can also fill out paperwork online if CA,,, use this website \nhttp://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/  \nChild needs counseling & when you go to court demand child get it.  No child has the right to pysically abuse their parent & you as her parent should not be penalized by losing your home or the other daughter.\nSeems husband is not doing right by you...  you need to get angry & start standing up for yourself &  your rights

Get a divorce kit at Walmart and follow the instructions.  As long as he doesn't contest anything it will cost you very little.

Yes, it is called filing "In Pro Per", and is the cleanest, least troublesome way to do an uncontested divorce. Just go to your County Clerk's Office and ask for the forms for Dissolution and Uniform Custody Order....if issues DO arise about which you and you ex-to-be do not agree, many jurisdictions offer mediation services free or at very little cost.\nGood luck.\n\nPS, there is absolutely NOTHING illegal about not hiring a lawyer, the person below is mistaken in that statement.

Get the divorce! Yes! All the cases that i have heard of have the free person getting the divorce.It is not free as far as i know. You can go on line or to the local law library and find out about the paperwork. Do you know any lawyers or paralegals? They can help also. Paralegals first if it is a simple divorce,they are cheaper.Good luck!!
