I Need a Divorce and I Have Children

This toolkit tells you about getting a divorce when you and your spouse have minor children. For general information about divorce, read the Articles. Read the Common Questions if you have a specific question. If you want to file for divorce, use the Forms link to prepare your forms. The Checklists below have step-by-step instructions for getting divorced. Go to Courts & Agencies for information about the court or agency that will handle your case.

You'll find links to legal aid offices and lawyer referral services under Find A Lawyer. If there is a Self-Help Center in your area you can get more help there. If you need something other than legal help, look in Community Services. If you need a fee waiver, an interpreter, a court to accommodate your disability, or more information about going to court, visit Going to Court.
