I have a boyfriend "chris" I have been with for 7 years and we have two kids together and my child I had with "mark" also lives with us. Obviously I need a divorce from Mark so my question is. Is it not in my best interest to do a divorce myself ?? Mark is not going to fight it or anything we already have child support papers and I get child support through the attorney general.

You may file a pro se divorce, and provided he agrees to everything, it can be pretty straightforward. There are places online to find forms, though I generally find that paying a little more money to an attorney to do it properly and discuss all of the legal ramifications (ins and outs) is worth it. This saves you time, effort, and doubt. There are many issues that forms will not cover when it comes to conservatorship of a child.
