Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Best advice I can give you is to go to the Court and ask if they have prose paperwork for you to fill out to start the divorce. You may even be able to waive the filing fee, so ask for a pauper's affidavit. Also look at Fulton County website they have some fillable divorce paperwork. When you file it ask the Clerk what you need to do to get a temporary hearing. Go to your local law library and read up on divorce. Until you can afford a attorney you are you and your children's best advocate. While you are waiting for your hearing date I would collect a copy of the bills, car titles, insurance information, retirement information together to submit to the Court. Note at a temporary hearing you are only allowed one witness besides yourself. Any other witness statement have to come in by affidavit and have to be provided to the other side no less than 72 hours I believe. When you go to the clerk's office ask for a subpoena, so you can send to his employer and get his wage information. The night before court prepare a list of questions to read from. When creating your questions ask yourself what do I need to ask my witness and your husband to get the information in.

Hope this helps.
