You can attempt to file your and to prosecute your own divorce. Proposed pleadings of their are commonly available on the Internet both for free and for a fees. Divorces, especially if there is property were children, are much more complex than most people imagine and I would very strongly suggest that you at least counsel with an attorney, even if you choose or cannot afford to have one represent you in court.
