Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

What am I doing wrong on my Divorce Decree Papers? To be brief, I have filed for a divorce, and decided to do a "Do It Yourself Divorce," whereby I fill out and file everything myself without a divorce attorney. I sent the necessary forms to my local district clerk, and they later informed me to fill out the divorce decree forms, and send those to the local district court.

It was suggested to me that I should get my divorce forms from TexasLawHelp.org. Here is the link to where I got my papers: http://texaslawhelp.org/resource/divorce-without-children-in-texas?ref=izLn2

The court coordinator contacted me, and informed me that the Judge says there are some mistakes on the forms. Without legal help, I am kind of lost over what these mistakes could be. Could someone help me by looking them over, and guide me on what I am doing wrong, so that I can correct it? Thank you for your time.

You need to hire a lawyer.

Start making some phone calls (or sending some emails). Tell the lawyer what happened, and ask him how much he would charge you to do the decree properly.
