What are the various criteria to be considered before selecting a Do It Yourself form?

Though the DIY form is quite simple and selected based on mutual understanding the following criteria should be kept it mind before one goes in for an "Uncontested Divorce" : i> Know the state laws of divorce, respective -- While do-it-yourself divorce documents address basic legal concerns, every case is different and you should be sure that you understand how the laws of your state affect your decisions. ii> If there are issues which can't be agreed upon with the spouse then the same needs to be addressed before going in front of a judge as this would invariably result in hiring for a lawyer because of the disagreement and the whole purpose of an Uncontested Divorce would be lost. iii> Make sure that either of the party involved doesn't hide any information or assets which needs to be amicably discussed upon. iv> Have got to know the forms needed as in : custody issues, property division, spousal support and name changes and many other legal forms available. v> Irrespective of the DIY forms being user friendly the various issues and legal terminology has to be understood thoroughly so as not to misrepresent oneself.


How does a California inmate file for an annulment?

County Jail or State Prison? Either way, contact your facility law library; often the staff can/will provide help to answer these types of questions. Basically you have someone outside send the papers, fill them out and then have the person file for you. The prison chaplain is often able to aid an inmate in solving domestic issues such as divorce.

What is the cheapest way to file for an uncontested divorce if all arrangements for property have been made already and no lawyer is needed?

An uncontested divorce is similar to a summary divorce except that the parties can have children and considerable property and assets to be distributed. What makes the divorce "uncontested" is that both parties have already addressed the issues of property division, alimony and custody, visitation and child support. All that is required is for the judge to approve the couples' agreement and the divorce can be granted.Answerto the best of my knowledge most states allow pro se(self-representation) or print the divorce papers that apply to your state&/or county fill them in you both sign submit them to the proper court & your divorced! The judge will most likely be happy not to hear the case, but make sure you have covered everything in the papers once you get a judge to sign NO GOING BACK! AnswerI'm not positive about other states but in Tennesse there is a state filing fee to file a divorce which when I did it it was around $225, that's the cheapest it can be done here. All you have to do is fill out the right papers and submit them to the court. They will assign a court date, it helps if at least one person is there to answer any questions but you don't actually even have to go. Some lawyers will file a divorce for $450 if its uncontested and everything is already settled. Pretty much they charge that for them to fill out papers that you can do if you feel comfortable doing it. In Illinois there is a Waiver form that you can have the judge sign if you can't afford the filing fees. When the judge signs that Waiver your can file all the papers you need to and not have to pay any filing or court fees. you can get all the forms and the will give you examples of how to fill out the papers you have to file for a divorce Pro Se (without a lawyer and the fees they would charge.) Also if can't afford a lawyer can go the the Legal Assistance Offices and get a lawyer for free.


What does it mean when a divorce is contested?

one of the parties of the divorce doesnt agree with what is going on and is wanting something else to happenI am sure you mean "Contested" divorce. A contested divorce can mean 2 different things.1. Contested divorce can describe a divorce where one party is arguing the other doesn't have grounds for divorce and attempts to prevent the divorce; therefore, the divorce, itself, is being contested.2. More commonly though, the term is used to describe the divorce process where both parties want the divorce but can't agree on issues like child custody, child and spousal support and equal distribution of the marital assets.


Does legal aid in Cleveland tn handle divorce cases?

The legal aid office in Cleveland is Legal Aid of East Tennessee. Their website is the first related link below, but it doesn't say whether or not they handle divorce cases. You'll have to call them; their contact info is on the website, which also has an online contact form that you can use to ask the question. I found this info at the second related link below, which has links to all legal aid organizations in Tennessee.
