on line divorce

So you've decided not to use a divorce attorney and you're go to represent yourself pro se in court, but now what? Where do you find the paperwork you need? Isn't everything available online for free? But how do you find it? These are all excellent questions that you WILL need to know the answers to, ASAP! 

When many fathers first decide that they are going to go it alone in court think that they can find all the info they need online and just "wing it". While it is true that most document and forms you need on line divorce are available online for free at court and county websites, that does not mean all you have to do is fill things out and turn them in. While these forms can often seem as if they are straight forward and easy to fill out, there are very specific pieces of information that needs to be entered in each section. You need to know what you need to write in each section, and how to word it in such a way that will force the court to take you seriously as a father representing himself in court. It is also true that court clerks do have some knowledge as to what goes where in these forms, however these people are usually untrained and help upwards of hundreds of people a day and may not have the patience to help you when you most need it.
