Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Divorce in Texas

I haven't seen my husband in 3 years, I moved to Texas a year ago. I want to know if I can file for divorce without obtaining a lawyer? Where do I find the forms for filing since the courthouse does not give them to you? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

divorce without a lawyer

The Texas Family Law Manual, published by the State Bar of Texas may be in the library and may be of use to you. Also, Texas Fathers for Equal Rights probably has form books which could be of use to you. You seem to want to pull your own teeth in this matter. That generally is a mistake for several reasons. You can probably find a reasonable lawyer if you do a bit of shopping.

This message does not constitute the hiring of this lawyer for any purpose. It is general information only and you should REALLY seek legal counsel immediately and hire them and pay them if you want legal information for your specific matter. This should merely be taken as general information for you to begin your research so that you will be better informed when you consult your lawyer.
