If you and your spouse have decided to divorce, but would like to make it as economical as possible - you can find free paperwork to help you out. Some online sites offer free downloads of divorce forms and legal separation forms.

You might wish to file legal separation forms first; this will protect you from any financial problems your partner might run into. Also while searching for what forms you will need, take the time to research the divorce process in your state to make sure you completely understand everything.

Make sure you have all your issues sorted out ahead of time. You do not want any surprises during the process of filing. If you have children, any assets to separate and any outstanding debts - make sure these are cleared up before you file. Usually do-it-yourself divorces do not include custody or any kind of support payments, unless of course you both have agreed to this.

Once you have downloaded your forms, make sure you understand them. Take the time to read them through completely. If you do not understand something, ask someone who might have gone through this. If there is no one, some sites include instructions and information on filling them out. You can also ask a paralegal to help you with them.
