If you want to know how to get a divorce without a lawyer, these are the steps you need to take.
1. Decide Where to File for Divorce
States have residency requirements you must meet before you can file for divorce there. Typically, you and your spouse must have lived in the state for a period of time–such as for six months–before the court will allow you to file for divorce.
You usually also have to file for divorce in the county or parish where you and/or your spouse reside. So, you need to research which court is appropriate for your case.
