Has anyone ever used a do it yourself divorce without a lawyer…did it work…what was the cost

I found a site that you can order papers to file divorce yourself. It says accepted all 50 states. I am in iowa. Do i fill them out and then do we go and sign them in front of notary and give them to clerk of court or what not sure how do go about doing this. Anyone do it this way??
My husband is leaving the country and isn’t planning on returning. He will sign anything because we are still friends and this is a decison we both agree on. We have on child and i will have full legal custody of him and the property will be mine he has no use for it when he will be out of the country. I want this simple and don’t have the money for a lawyer

i dont have money for an attorney and i have not seen my other half in four years.. my x is in another state

Do we have to file again or is it set? I know its at the courthouse clerks office but If I have to move after filing will this stop and have to start over everything as I don’t want to have to stay with him doing what he is doing around me but have to stay to see divorce is properly filed and paid for?

My ex and I have been seperated since 2002 and still havent gotten divorced. We have 3 children and he dosent pay any child support so I havent been able to come up with the extra money to get the divorce done myself. Im trying to find some low-cost options or advice.This is really a pain to be attached to someone that you no longer love or care about.

i have the paperwork all filled out. Do I need to file first then have my former husband sign the papers or can i have him sign then file the paperwork?

I have a friend whom is wanting to do a do-it-yourself divorce. Him and the ex have two boys ages 8 and 9. The maternal grandmother has full legal custody of the boys and lives in Nebraska. Divorce will be in Kentucky. The grandmother left KY and moved to Nebraska. My friend already pays child support to the maternal grandmother. So his question is since neither parent has any rights to the children do the children still need to be listed in the divorce? Thanks.

I’m trying to divorce my cheating, drug addict husband. We have a 15 month old son. The courts told me I’d need a lawyer to do my divorce or I could try to do it myself. I was told about those kits at the office supply stores “Do it yourself divorces”. Do those work? The court said the documents could be out dated, but I am not sure. Any reviews on them?

There is no way around it; divorce is a painful process to go through. Even when the relationship has been on a downward spiral and both parties have been miserably unhappy, ending the relationship with a divorce is a tremendous loss on both sides. Many who go through a divorce will grieve the loss of the partnership in the same way one grieves for a person who has died. In some cases, more years together will result in a greater sense of loss and abandonment when the divorce takes place. For others, even the end of a newer marriage can trigger similar feelings, with grief for the loss of a companion during a divorce compounded by the shattered dreams and hopes of the life together that was anticipated. If you are currently going through a divorce, or still reeling from a separation that is now legally complete, there are people who can help.

As common sense and statistics tell us, the leading cause of marital discord is money. Therefore, it is not surprising that many times divorce inventories have more red numbers than black ones.
