If you and your spouse cannot agree on every issue related to your divorce, or if there are unique circumstances surrounding your divorce case, handling the matter pro se may not be wise — or even possible.<\/p>\n

In such a circumstance, we suggest you work with an attorney to resolve your case, as resolving these issues on your own may make pro se representation challenging.<\/p>\n

If you would like to present the details of your case to an attorney to get a professional opinion, you can do so for FREE at Standard Legal’s Attorney Find page<\/a> (select the DIVORCE option from the Legal Specialty menu).<\/p>\n

Standard Legal only provides legal forms software for No-Fault Divorce<\/a> (which requires a signed agreement between the husband and wife as to the terms of the Divorce). If your spouse will agree to all terms and sign documents for a No-Fault Divorce, you can proceed pro se using the forms and instructions provided by Standard Legal.<\/p>\n

If you and your spouse cannot agree to all terms but still wish to attempt to handle the matter without an attorney, you may want to check for other legal form offerings from other legal forms companies<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
