The low income lawyer or a lawyer appointed by the court for indigent clients is done through the court clerks office. You will need to contact the clerks office in your county for your divorce and see if you will be eligible for a free lawyer. Otherwise and uncontested divorce is usually around $750 - $1,500 and contested is anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 depending on who you to go. If you are capable of representing yourself in court, you can hire a paralegal like a family law specialist to draft up the paperwork for you and you go to court on your own. It would be a cost-effective option if you can not afford high prices of attorney and a low-cost/free attorney is not available for you. It is best to work with a Family Law specialist so Feel free to contact my office and speak with a case manager at 1 877-866-8665 or email help@smsattorneys.com to go over your options.
