    Question: 

    Do you need a lawyer to file and proceed with a divorce?

    State: 
    Texas
    Answer: 

    You do not absolutely have to have an attorney to get divorced in Texas. Having representation by a lawyer can make your divorce a bit easier (and more expensive), but it is not mandatory. You can prepare and file your own divorce documents in Texas without a lawyer's help. - The Divorce.com Team
