Hi C.,
Good for you, I also did my own divorce, I filed in 1996. I borrowed the book from the library "How to do your own divorce." I never even bought the darn thing! After I read through it a few times I felt I had the knowledge. I consulted with a lawyer 1 time, he supported "in pro per" people, charged me $75. and let me know I had everything in order. We went to a mediator for visitation and that was it. Back then it cost me a total of around $250. There is legal advice at the court house downtown Long Beach, cheap or free.
Go Girl, it's not that hard,
Wendy
