Pro Se Divorce
Packages
HOW TO FILE FOR DIVORCE IN TEXAS WITHOUT A LAWYER
A Pro Se Divorce package is simply a do-it-yourself divorce kit. Sometimes they consist of blank forms to fill out and others are fully prepared by a divorce attorney.
It is not legal for a non-attorney to prepare legal forms for a fee. The advantage of a Pro Se Package is that it may save a small amount of money. The disadvantages are many.
We have seen many unfortunate cases where a person comes into our office having already used a “divorce kit” they purchased elsewhere only to lose out on receiving:
- Retirement
- Military Benefits
- Or other sums of money they were entitled to

Texas Divorce Lawyers
Frequently, clients will come in and ask us to prepare a Pro Se Divorce Package for them. After further consultation with a divorce attorney, however, clients rarely decide to go that route.
This is because all our fees are based on how much time the matter will take us to complete, and it works out such that the divorce cost for a Pro Se Package ends up only slightly cheaper than our fees for full representation.
Clients generally choose to have a licensed attorney by their side every step of the way since the price is comparable to a Pro Se Package. Choosing a divorce lawyer for representation is also a significantly simpler route for the client.
