Uncontested Divorce Forms Package

[PRACTICE POINTER: "A tool is only as good as the hands that use it." Forms are tools. The forms included on this page are provided to demystify this area of legal process where so many people find themselves. They are not a replacement for good counsel, but there are several important things to keep in mind when determining what and whom "good counsel" might be:

(1) No judge in his or her right mind wants to hear your divorce case! (2) The sine qua non of the Court is administering convenience. (3) Clerks can be helpful, especially when you politely show them that you can help them with the Court's docket by proceeding uncontested and waiving all court appearances (check your local court rules for this one), clerks have been known to supply Pro Se litigants with "sanitized" copies of pleadings (like DISCOVERY) in order to expedite amicable filings. (4) Most jurisdictions provide for referral to MEDIATION upon request.]
