No.  You cannot.  \n\nFind yourself a divorce attorney immediately.  Also, keep in mind that you do not need your husband's consent to file for divorce.  You file and the ball gets rolling.  Sounds to me like you may need to get  a restraining order against the bum.\n\nAnyway, find yourself a lawyer quickly.  This is not something you want to be doing on your own.  If you cannot afford an attorney and must do this alone, then contact your county court and see if they have any free legal clinics on divorce.  Many counties do offer that.\n\nGood luck to you.

Find an attorney.\n\nIf it's a simple divorce with no division of property, alimony or custody/child support issues, you can find forms on the internet and file yourself.  This option requires a lot more work on your part but it's cheaper.

The rules regarding appeals will vary from state to state and there are different types of appeals too.  In the most basic form, you will need to file a notice of appeal.  In many states, it is up to the appellant to create the record for the court of appeal by designating what documents the trial court clerk should copy and send to the court to the court fo appeal.  The appellant may also need to pay for and arrange for copies of the trial transcript to be availble for the court of appeal.  AFter the record is complete, you must file an opening brief.  The respondent files an opposition brief and you file a reply.  Sometimes the court will hear oral argument.  This is just the BARE basics, so get an attorney right away.

completecase.com and yes we agreed on everything and for 300.00 they go through a series of questions and give you ALL the paper work you need to file. The state you file in will have different laws about physically appearing in court. Our state required it. We were married 22 yrs so we really didn't want to hurt each other just go our separate ways and it's worked out fine. My ex did have an attorney appear for her and he checked out the paper work and saw nothing wrong and was quite surprised the Internet could do such a comprehensive job

You may call the Bar Association or lawyers offices in your area. They do give bits of free advice. It seems that if you write it on paper and have it notetorized, that would work. It is probably more simple than you think

Just write your own agreement, stating the arrangements you have agreed upon.  Each sign a copy and have a witness for each of you sign as well.  Then if you ever have to go to court, you at least have something written down on what was agreed upon.  My brother and his ex went to court and then came up with their own agreement.  They just cancelled the court date and now share custody of their daughter.

If you use a website, generally those cost money.  And each form varies from state to state, so the best bet is really to go to a law library for your state.\n\nYou should consider a lawyer - you might be surprised at how inexpensive it is to file an uncontested divorce.

Sure, you can probably do it yourself, but you have to know what paperwork to file. Try going to your county clerk of court's office. Ask someone there if they know of a few recently filed "modification of child support" actions filed. Since a filed lawsuit should be considered public record, they may be able to let you look at a few so that you will know how to draft your own.\n\nBeware! Your attitude and the person you are dealing with at the clerk's office makes all the difference in the world. If you aren't successful in one county, try another.\n\nGood luck!

You should talk to your husband's lawyer. The lawyer should file the motion. If it is a matter of fees, contact the public defender's office.\n\nIf you file a motion that does not have all of the required information and it is denied, it could prevent a lawyer from filing the correct motion later.\n\nNo matter what, you should speak to a lawyer in your area.

You draft a motion for finding of contempt, which is usually in the form of a motion for an order to show cause why the other party should not be held in contempt.  This motion goes to the court who originally issued the order for payment of alimony, which is usually the same court that issued the final divorce decree, of which the alimony is most often a part.\n\nThen the court will order and schedule a hearing, the other party has an opportunity to be heard, and an order will be issued if justified.\n\nIf the other party doesn't show, having been properly served with the motion to show cause/order for hearing, then you'll win by default, and the court will issue a contempt order.\n\nThis is sufficiently complex that it is usually best to have an attorney do the drafting and filing.
