A: If you are facing a divorce and cannot afford an attorney, there are resources available to help you navigate the legal process. Many states have legal aid organizations that offer free or low-cost assistance to individuals who meet certain income criteria. These organizations can provide guidance on filling out necessary forms, understanding your rights, and representing yourself in court if needed. Additionally, some courthouses have self-help centers or clinics that provide information and resources for those without legal representation. Online resources and guides can also help you understand the divorce process and complete required paperwork. While representing yourself may be challenging, these options can provide you with valuable support to ensure your rights are protected throughout the divorce proceedings.
