Re: documentsI would

I cannot answer your questions about finding forms as I do not know. However, it is so important for you to know that there really is more to the divorce than filling in forms. First, you are going to have to file a complaint for divorce. There will be a filing fee. You could find a lawyer in your area who will assist you with an uncontested divorce for not too much more than the filing fee and if you are really struggling financially, the lawyer can help you file with a reduced fee. In any event, someone will sell you forms, but the problem is that you have to be able to find your way to the courthouse and ultimately to the courtroom. You are going to have to put on certain proof to get your divorce and if your spouse does not cooperate with you, you will have even a greater challenge. My suggestion is to hire a young but knowledgeable attorney who can help you through the process as inexpensively as possible. Best of luck to you.
