More often than not, married couples looking to divorce will turn to an attorney for assistance. However, this is not always necessary. For more than 8 years, We The People of NY has been providing legal document services to clients throughout New York City. Whether you need help with bankruptcy, wills, incorporations and more, the skilled professionals will walk you through all the necessary processes. Filing divorce papers may seem complicated, but having a legal document service prepare your paperwork ensures that you will save money, time, and frustration.

If you want to file divorce papers in New York without consulting a lawyer, follow these steps from We The People:

  • Come to an Agreement: Make sure you and your spouse agree on all issues, including property division, child custody, and child support.
  • Determine the Grounds For Your Divorce: In New York, you are required to give the grounds, or reason, for your divorce, such as abuse or irreconcilable differences (also known as "no fault") The most common ground chosen is “no fault," in which neither party is required to admit that the other did something wrong.
  • Obtain a Workbook: You may come to the We The People office and fill out our Workbook/mailed or mailed to you. This is how we gather the information we need to prepare the court documents. There are separate versions for couples with and without children.

If you and your spouse simply cannot come to an agreement, most likely an attorney will need to be involved. We The People can also refer you to a mediator or attorney. However, this will be a costly experience that will only add to your stress. For information on a simple, affordable way to file divorce papers, visit We The People of NY online.
