A friend of mine is filing for divorce from her husband. She is drugs online without prescription poor, but may not qualify for legal aid. Are there other avenues she may examine for obtaining cheap legal services for this divorce?
She may be able to file a pro se (on her own without an attorney) divorce if there are no kids, properties or money to be divided. She can check with her local courthouse to see if she can file pro se and if she can’t, if there are legal associations that will handle this for her on a pro bono (free) basis or at very low and affordable rate.
There are do it yourself divorce kits for those that can not afford to pay a lawyer. They are available online.
You can go to a office supply store and ask for the forms to fill out yourself and file them or call legal aid for advice. good luck
There is no shut thing as a cheap attorney. Not evening when it comes to legal aid>
She can go to her county court and apply for a "do it yourself" divorce, she will have to take classes in how to do your own divorce which will take all day, she will also have to pay court costs of about $250.00 however if she can prove that she can’t afford that she can get a fee waiver and can file for free. Keep in mind however that this is a very long and tedious process and that NO ONE behind the windows can give her ANY legal advice. She is going to have to take notes and pay attention in the classes which means if she has children she might want to have someone else watch them for the ENTIRE day….yes ENTIRE day like from 7:00am until 7:00pm…
