What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? OH

Hi community, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good divorce attorney in or near Bowling Green?

Sorry, referrals are not allowed. Contact the Bar Association or talk to your divorced friends.

Will do thanks

Public defendants and/or free legal advice ... how do I go about finding someone?

Pretty extensive list thanks!!

Do you know if the local court offers free representation? Or at least legal advice or maybe guidance on how to file?

Looking to file for divorce against my wife "Delaine" and just looking for some guidance on to go about it. "Delaine" and I are still living together and she doesn't know I want to file quite yet so I can't retain a lawyer as she will see the funds being used.

Do I understand you correctly? You want an attorney to work for free so you can "surprise" your wife with the divorce? Don't see an attorney going for that...

The local court doesn't grant free representation for divorces. Not in Ohio. They may have a clinic. You will need to go to sconet.state.oh.us --- click on Domestic Relations forms on the right hand side... fill out those affidavits -- that is a start.

Isn't he in Kentucky? Not sure if they do free legal divorces here, but I believe there is a free help clinic which can walk people through NON CONTESTED divorces. Not sure a surprise divorce would count. (and what a horrible way to go about it, btw)

Nope, OH.

I agree: surprise divorce is not nice.

If thier are no children involved ,or she agrees ,check the court house for self divoce packets. I did it this way,was a struggle and frustrating running between the court and county clerks office and being able to submit one form with a nerd head clerk,but another kind lady stamped it into record but I came out with my divorce.

*doh* Now I see up top where he put Ohio.

That court is over 2 hours away? Are you from Ohio? Someone else posted rhat you are a gal and attorney in Ohio in my GAL post on here. Any help with that thread by chance? Do they offer something similar at wood County?
