When a divorce is filed,
the divorce laws and court rules of the state in which the divorce is filed require that specific legal documents be

There are several options for filling out your divorce forms.

If you are like most people, you most likely want to get divorced without spending a lot of money.

In most states,
a packet of blank divorce forms can be obtained for free from the court system that people can fill out themselves to file their own divorce without using anyone else (such as an attorney or paralegal) to fill out their divorce forms.

|
Filling out your own paper divorce forms with a pen or typewriter and filing them yourself is generally referred to as filing your own do-it-yourself divorce, which is commonly also called a DIY divorce.
|
|
A problem that many people run into using the free divorce forms is that they do not understand how to fill out every part of them correctly.
|
|
It is very common for people who decide to fill out their divorce forms themselves to create defective divorce forms that will be rejected by the court because they use the wrong divorce forms, use out-dated divorce forms, accidentally leave out some required information, or enter incorrect information, which frequently happens when they try to calculate and enter the amount of child support, which is a complex calculation.
|
|
If you make any mistakes when filling out your divorce forms, your divorce papers will be considered 'defective' and will be rejected by the court, and you will then be stuck, not knowing what to do.
|
|
Also, you may not know for many weeks or months after you filed your divorce papers with the court that they were rejected.
