Anyone represent yourself Pro Se in court? (Divorce)

[Camper292000]

I need help badly from the ODT family.

Does anyone have any experience representing yourself? My lawyer just quit and I seem to be lacking $5000. to hire another one.

Not that a lawyer helps at all. I believe the last one lied....I just learned he did not convey my wife's offer before the TH. Unbelievable.

If you do it yourself, just give her your balls to

I got screwed! The I hired a good lawyer and went back and took my kids? Depends on what you have to give up

 

[Camper292000]

Well, no money for a lawyer. Anyone do it themselves?

It's not recommended in anything but an uncontested divorce. Maybe file a complaint with the Bar?

I heard horror stories those that represented themselves


No money , you are screwed

But what do you have to lose


Best luck they suck either way

If kids are involved you have to have a lawyer. There is no other option. Do whatever you can to come up with at least $1000 to give an attorney to start... Deliver pizzas, sell stuff, beg your friends to let you work on the weekends for them. Lots of ways to make a grand.

If no kids, and you are broke with no assets. What's the worst that can happen? Just walk away and never look back. The judge will grant the divorce eventually anyway.

If you have a house, cars, or any other valuables you will need an attorney. Or just plan to give it all to her. Might be cheaper in the long run. Houses are expensive to keep up and bills that come with them suck too.

My x old lady tried to play Mrs. Parry Mason in court and ended up going to jail. Judges don't like it ether. with out one you are on the stinky end of the stick.

Should have hired a hit man instead of the first lawyer.

You could always just keep her.........that's a lot cheaper.
