You can file a dissolution on your own. Depending on what
county you are in, some may be more difficult than others. For instance, here
in Missouri, in St. Louis County, there are some services set up to help with
this. On the other hand, the surrounding counties like St. Charles, Franklin
County, St. Louis City (separate from St. Louis County), and Jefferson County,
which admittedly are much smaller, do not have the same resources.
Additionally, none of these resources can give you free legal advice. For legal advice, you need to hire an attorney. Some people
may qualify for legal aid with places like LSEM or CLAM, but many do not and,
these organizations do have problems meeting the huge need for their services
even for people that do financially qualify. If you look up federal poverty
guidelines, you will get an idea of who qualifies. The levels are extremely low
and depending on the size of household, can be between income of approximately
$14,000 a year and $35,000 a year in income.
The legal community sees that there is a need for people
beyond these lower limits that is not being met. It offers as a solution
Limited Scope Representation. You can represent yourself for most of the case,
but get legal advice when you need it. Bottomline: You can file a dissolution yourself, but you may
want some advice along the way. |
