Since 1992, Attorney Dorsey observed parties who had filed their own divorces without property or few assets or children. These self-litigants faced problems finalizing their divorces because of missing paperwork or incorrect documents. Frequently, the problem was a missing step in the uncontested, agreed divorce process like the wrong waiver or a waiver notarized at the wrong time. The self-represented person's inexperience and poor understanding of Texas Family Law and court procedure resulted in frustration, multiple appearances in court, and sometimes the dismissal of their pending divorce. While it is a spouse's right to self-represent, The Dorsey Law firm brings over thirteen years experience and knowledge to alleviate the problems that arise in a self-represented divorce while offering a reasonable low cost rate starting at $299.00 for a no property, no children agreed divorce.
