No, you do not. You need to hire an attorney. If you can not afford one, you can apply for help through your state's legal aid program.

You need to get some real free legal advise. Are you saying you can't afford to pay for one either? If you have no major ties to him it shouldn't be too difficult. Go to your local court house and start asking questions. I don't think it will cost as much as you think.\n\nI would not worry about your dignity right now. You would not believe what others are going through or have gone through. If they are true friends they are not judging you.\n\nIf you pay for it think of it as you leaving and not him letting you go.

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.

Nothing is free, but there has to be some legal aid organizations that help you out for a lower fee.  This might not be the case anymore, but I know for a fact when my biological father was in prison and this was 44 years ago, my mom filed for divorce, and my father refused to sign the paperwork.  Well, the Warden signed the paperwork, seeing that the Warden was in charge of my fathers (all inmates) affairs and responsibilities.  The paperwork was accepted by the courts.  My mom remarried to my current father (step father) who has been there for me throught out my life, and busted his butt to raise me.  I will forever be grateful to my current dad,for raising me and treating me as his own.  But back to you, good luck and check out the legal aid organizations.

How can he not be ready? You've been separated for 6 years.\n\n Is he afraid of what he will lose financially if he makes good money. He may think it's cheaper for him to stay married to you. \n\nIf you go to the clerks office, you should be able to file yourself and have no representation. It'll only cost you court cost. It's a basic format and very self explanatory. Mine was only $135. Worth checking into.

here in Minnesota they have legal aid which does low cost divorces.if you don't have that there or they won't help you could try a paralegal to assist you,or you could get the papers and do a do it yourself divorce.if all else fails most places have women's organizations that may be able to help you.you might want to look up on your computer the laws for divorce in Iowa and then you can have an idea what direction you can take such as if you can file it yourself in the courts without an attorney,my friend did his that way.good luck

Not likely....you were only married for a year and you came into the marraige with these things.  Get a good lawyer and you should be fine.  Find a flat rate divorce attorney....it will cost you more up front, (and possible  a little more in the end) but you won't get nickel and dimed with every phone call, email, and paper that needs written/filed.  Good luck....and it really does gt better!

In most states you can go to their government website and download the papers for free.  If you are not at ends with the other partner, just fill them out together, or each fill out seperate forms and then compromise on the final copy.  Then all that's left is to sign it and turn it in to the court house...

You can divorce him - ask several lawyers for fees. You can require that all communication be directed to you attorney. Let the lawyer know, up front, that you want minimal contact with him. I divorced a woman who left town. I went months without her seeing me or the kids. Years later, we lived next door to one another!

See if your state has a summary divorce law.  Faster, cheaper.

that depends on the state you are in.  Some states have do-it-yourself divorces that all you have to do is pay the filing fees.  Other have legal aids that help you fill out the paper work and file it, again just paying the fees.  It depends on the state you live in but the best place to find out and start with is your local legal aid.

I divorced through an on line service.  I recommend it only if you and your ex can negotiate a settlement amicably.  If there is any disagreement on the division of assets or parenting and custody plans then it is better to use a mediation service or lawyers.  We were able to work it all out and it did not take much time and we did not have to go to court.  The cost as I recall was about $400.  My state is a no fault state.  I don't know about yours.

you should be able to get this information from an attorney. i am canadian and i married a brit here in canada. we got a very easy divorce after being separated for over a year - that is one of the 'reasons' for a divorce here in alberta. it was done in about 3 months and cost $800. i dont know that they 'dont do' annulments in canada but that isnt an easy thing to do anyway. you have to prove that the marriage was fraudulent or that it wasnt consumated and things like that. contact the law office in your state and the govt in the province you got married in and see what information you can find.

Hmmm...I'm 34 w/ 4 kids and paying soooooooooo much, and I'm the mom. Long story but no I'm not a derelict I just was sick of family court. A lawyer is good advice but also unrealistic when it comes down to it. Get on the internet (whatever state you're in) and download all your paperwork. They're making it so much easier than it used to be. Get your support reduced and pay and they'll give you your license.

That's a lot of money to just let go.  If it were $1,700.00 then I might just whoop his a** and let it go but for $170,000...are you kidding?  Some attorney might take the case and it's free to check it out.
