How do I file for divorce without an attorney in Houston?
September 3rd, 2009
I want to file for divorce in Houston but I can’t afford an attorney. We don’t really have any properties in common so we dont have anything to fight for. Do I go to the court and file the documents there?

You can go to the public library and ask the clerk for a book with Texas divorce documents. Print out the documents and fill in your information. Take to the court house and pay your filling fee and get your court date. If everything is agreed upon the judge will grant it at the end of the waiting period.
If for some reason the other party does not agree or won’t sign the papers. You can contact the Sheriffs office and have them served. Once they are served it is their choice rather to show up in court or not. Your divorce will still be granted.
EDIT>>> A lot of these people are suggesting services. I too used one of those only to find out the documents they sent where not acceptable in the state of Texas. I tried to get my money back from the company and just got the run around. Be very careful.
