Re: divorce ?

You can hire an attorney ro try to do it yourself.

Go to any law library and look for the form book, Texas Family Practice Manual. Look under modifications.

You also need to read the Texas Family Code and the book that goes along with the forms in the TX Family P. Manual.

Of course, an attorney that practices family law will know the right paragraphs to pick.

You must customize the legal paperwork to apply to your exact case.

By the way, if you don't ask for it, the court can't grant it.

As I like to explain to people, plumbers love people who try to do the work themselves -- it keeps their famiies fed!

Would you try to do surgery on yourself? I doubt it, you would want to hire an exper to help you.

The law is the same way. The Judge agrees not to practice law when they go on the bench. They cannot help you. It is your responsibility to know the laws of your state and county.

Good luck!
