Where Can You Find the Paperwork for a Divorce That Won't Cost You $150?

Hi D. ... I'm very sorry to hear about your marriage, especially since you have two children. I divorced my first husband back in 1996, and it was about as simple as it could get. I filed, he went along with it all, no complications, but we do have two children who were 6 and almost 4 then. I know you say that you want something cheap, but a divorce and your children's legal well-being are worth every dollar that you pay an attorney, especially if you think your husband will fight back. If your marriage is truly over, and you see nothing better in the future, I encourage you to do whatever it takes -- hock the plasma tv, do whatever you must -- to hire an attorney that will give you the direction and knowledge to plot you and your kids' futures. There might be some places that say they'll divorce you for $150, but in Texas it's not quite that simple, and having children complicates it even more. Good luck to you, wish you could stay with your husband for the sake of the children.

You can buy a book one of the big book stores, I think the title is How to File for Divorce in Texas. But then you have to pay filing fees at the court. Good Luck!

Go to the downtown law library and tell the librian what you need. You will have to retyp the whole thing...filing fees are still high tho.

Office Depoot/Office Max (don't remember which) has a do-it-yourself kit. My understanding is that it includes all the paperwork.

Hi D.-

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for or not but freedivorceforms.net has the petition for divorce available for free to cut and paste into a word document. The only other suggestion I would have for you is to call the County Clerks affice, maybe it's something that they have available for you.

Good Luck,
K.

D.,
My only concern is doing this paper work where its less costly may leave out some important things you will need to be granted to you in the papers like property, child support, 401 plans, retirement ect. Trust me your man may promise you alot of things that you don't think they'd ever burn you on, they will especially when they move on to another relationship and especially if the new woman has kids or if they have kids together they seem to forget about their previous responsibilities if you let them. You need to get what you can now, especially since you said he's not faultless. So don't feel bad about him not having money. Us women are nurturers and we tend to do that but you have 2 kids so trust me you need to get what you can so their life with you can be stressless as possible. There are lawyers who will work with you and will get their pay when you yall settle like from a 401 or something. Not many but you probally can google free lawyers or low budget or something.

I bought the papers at Office Depot or Office Max but there is also our lovely GOOGLE!! just google free divorce forms or no contest divorce forms & you'll find them. I only found it after I paid for the whole kit which was only $42 with tax. Still alot but cheaper.
