Notice: These forms should only be used if the divorce is uncontested or simple, meaning
everybody agrees to the terms of the divorce and there are no significant property and debts to split,
and you and your spouse do not have a house or retirement benefits. If your spouse hires an attorney
and you do not feel that you can adequately represent yourself, you should immediately hire an
attorney to represent you, and request a continuance (postponement) of any hearings. If you are
low-income, you can contact the Newark office of Southeastern Ohio Legal Services at (740) 345-
0850, or 1-888-831-9412 for additional advice, and possibly for representation.
