divorce
to save money; will a self start divorce kit available at Borders books be usable if I fill it all out and contact a laywer with it completed to double check it for me? I live in Washington state.

Re: divorce
Washington allows limited representation. Luckily you are in Pierce County, which now has a program where you can bring your final documents for review before finalizing your action.
This presumes you file and serve the initial documents - the summons, petition, order assigning case to department and docs. as needed if you have children.
But save your money; all the forms you need are available at courts.wa.gov under "court forms".
Many attorneys will do a short limited representation at a reasonable price.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
