Is there anywhere I can get help filling out the papers to file myself without paying? I have most of them done but some are confusing. Also what’s someone sworn to administer oaths?
If you’re trying to file for an absolute divorce, check out our Do It Yourself Divorce Guide. This will give you step-by-step instructions and all the forms. Note that there is a $225 filing fee to file for an absolute divorce in every county.
Someone sworn to administer oaths can be a notary public. Your bank should have a notary that you can use.
