Low-income couples allowed to divorce without lawyers

The Texas Supreme Court has decided to move forward with allowing low-income couples without children to divorce without hiring lawyers.  The court ordered Wednesday that a proposed standardized divorce form that would be acceptable in Texas courts be published for a period of public comment. It could approve the new procedure by early next year. The standardized form, tailored to Texas law, would be available in uncontested cases.  The suggested form will be published in the Texas Bar Journal, and comments will be accepted through Feb. 1.
