I'm curious about this. MO is a no fault state, Cat and I are getting along pretty good as friends, we've already divided the major property/debts, and custody/child support isn't an issue,i.e., I'll see them as often as I can and pay more than my court ordered share.<P>So, if anyone has had experience in this, could you post or send me an email?<P>Thanks [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P><P>------------------<BR>Allen<BR>sparky_dog_mb@yahoo.com

Hi Sparky,<P>Yes, we have done all the paperwork and filed ourselves. We used a book called Divorce Yourself : The National No-Fault Divorce Kit. It is located on Amazon.com at <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0935755640/o/qid=956584939/sr=8-1/ref=aps_sr_b_1_1/103-7629101-7722237" TARGET=_blank>http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0935755640/o/qid=956584939/sr=8-1/ref=aps_sr_b_1_1/103-7629101-7722237</A> .<P>It comes with a diskette containing forms for all 50 states. We are like you and Cat and are divorcing as good friends. We have already filed the paperwork and did not encounter any snags, except for a parenting class that we did not know we had to take. We we giving this information at the time we filed. It saves you a lot of money and keeps the lawyers from turning friends into enemies.<P>Dawg

You might want to go over to the Fathers Rights to Custody homepage at <A HREF="http://www.deltabravo.net/custody." TARGET=_blank>www.deltabravo.net/custody.</A> <P>There is a lot of rhetoric on the site about (what else?) fathers rights, but they have very good advice about how to do your own divorce. They also have people that will answer your questions on their discussion boards. So if you can look beyond the rhetoric, it is a good site.

sparky,<BR>yes Earl and i are doing this on our own too, you can pick up a packet at the county court house I dont know how much it will be in your county, but it is still cheeper than a laywer. I wish you and cat the best of luck, I think it is best for the kids to keep things nice and civil, and as far from a court room [censored] possable.<P>Lesa<P>------------------<BR>"It took me quite a while to realize that <B>the real deal</B> is to be able to be enough of a person your own to know when somebody loves you and cares about you"<BR>----Stevie Ray Vaughan<P>"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and<BR> lean not unto thine own understanding." -Proverbs 3:5<BR>Take care and God Bless.<P> lms20ish@jobe.net

I started to a couple of years ago and this advice was given to me...<P>COPY COPY COPY COPY everything you have! One for you one for her one for the courts.<P>My state is supposed to be no fault, but the judges here MAKE everyone go through at least six months counseling first. Then he goes on the recommendation of teh counselor to grant a divorce or not. Weird.<P>Mercy
