Is an attorney necessary?
An attorney is not required in simplified divorces. If you have any legal questions, you should consult with an attorney before seeking a simplified divorce.


If you do not know an attorney, you should contact the Lawyer Referral Service listed in the yellow pages of the local telephone directory. If you are unable to afford an attorney, you should contact the legal aid office in your area or ask your local bar association for a referral.
