Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I have been informally separated from my husband for 6 months and have relocated with our 2 small children. I need to file for divorce as soon as possible but do not have the monetary funds to provide for a lawyer...what are my other options??

You may wish to consider filing a pro se divorce action (representing yourself)

if the legal issues involved in the dissolution of your marriage are neither too

numerous nor unduly complicated. (The clerk's offices of some circuit courts

have pro se divorce packets available with instructions as to how to go about

it on your own without a lawyer. Other courts have similar materials online which

you can access and download from their respective websites.)
