If you’re considering filing for divorce, you have several options. The first step is to check with the clerk’s office in your county, as they can provide you with the necessary forms.

I recommend the state bar association referral program. They typically have private lawyers available who are willing to take on pro bono cases or offer services at a reduced rate.

Also, consider contacting your local Legal Aid Office — if they accept your case, they won’t charge fees.

Finally, we strive to remain neutral by not providing specific attorney referrals, which means that lawyers are unable to advertise with us. However, we do have our preferred service so you can have several lawyers to choose from.

Is there anything else the Family Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your divorce filing.

No.
