A: About the best you'll be able to do is go to your local courthouse to see if they provide the paperwork packet you'll need to complete the divorce, and do it yourself. Many courthouses provide it for $10-$20. If it's truly uncontested, that may be the most economical way to go. You may also want to see if one or both of you qualify for legal aid. Short of those two options, you won't find many attorneys eager to take on a pro bono divorce case - even one that is "uncontested". When an attorney becomes involved, that person is, to the court, in it for the long haul. And "simple" "uncontested" divorces have a way of unraveling.
