A: Check with your local domestic relations court. Some courts have legal clinics in which local attorneys volunteer to assist with documents. Some law schools also have clinics. You also can use the Find a Lawyer tab to call around to local divorce attorneys. You can divorce your spouse even without knowing his address by publishing notice of the divorce in the paper, but you will need some assistance in doing that and there are some costs involved.
