Most counties have a guide or packet you can buy. Look up the Court Clerk in the County where you reside.

The way to get input is to see a lawyer. How NOT to do it is to proceed pro se or delay seeing a lawyer. With a child, if you care about the child, a lawyer is absolutely vital.

The easiest way to educate yourself on the issue of divorce and how to get one, if you want, is to speak with a Family Law Attorney. Simply call and make an appointment. Note that many attorneys charge for their time and may not offer a free consultation. Good luck.

You should seek legal advice from an attorney to protect your rights during the divorce process. Alabama requires parties to file appropriate legal forms and does not have do-it-yourself forms due to the rights at stake for both the parents and children. I would suggest at a minimum having a consultation with an attorney.

Consult an attorney or contact the legal services agency in your area. You might also contact the district court in your county of residence to see if they have any do-it-yourself clinics.

You should talk with friends who are divorced. Talk with domestic relations attorneys. Check the website for your local domestic relations division of your county court of common pleas.

From your question, it sounds like you are considering doing the divorce yourself. If that is the case, then, probably the first thing you should do is buy and read one of the books on divorce in Washington. I know there is one called Guide to Divorce in Washington. There are probably several others. Be aware that doing a divorce yourself, particularly one with children, can be difficult. The other option would be to hire an attorney, in which case, whoever you hire can probably tell you more information than you ever really wanted.

You may call an attorney for a free initial consultation or you can go to your local courthouse and contact the family law facilitator for more information.
