HOW CAN I GET A DIVORCE FOR FREE OR CHEAPLY?

QUESTION: Is there any way to divorce my husband who abandoned me six years ago, for free? If not what is the cheapest way to do this? I have to get it done quickly because my health is failing and I do not want him to get any of my property when I die.

MY RESPONSE:

The cheapest way of doing a divorce may not be the fastest or most successful way.

The cheapest way is to represent yourself in Pro Per, with the assistance of your local Superior Court's Self-Help clinic, and to file papers to request that the Court waive your filing fee.

The best way of doing a divorce in the fastest and most successful way would be to retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to file and prosecute your divorce case to completion.

Depending on your husband's income, you might be entitled to an order requiring your husband to pay some or a substantial portion (if not all) of your attorney's fees.
