lawyer for

recently i was asked if it was required that somebody hire a lawyer to do a divorce or family law matter or if they can handle their child custody issues all by all by themselves. the answer to that is yeah you can do it pro se. you can actually handle things on your own and there are actually forms you can get from the state bar or the texas supreme

court websites to help you in your texas family law matter. usually it's for simple divorces and things like that but i would caution you that you get what you pay for. last week i was in court and there were two pro se individuals who were trying to get a divorce and and frankly they just didn't know what they were doing.

and the judge looked at them and said "when you come into my court i expect you to know the rules, i expect you to know what you're doing, i expect you to know how to get what you're asking for. and obviously did they did not. sometimes when you handle your own issues you cause more problems or create more problems than you want to. it'd be

like me if i tried tried to change my own oil in my car, right? that's why you take it in to get serviced. it costs you money, yeah. you're right. but at the end of the day the peace of mind knowing that it was done and done right. and there's accountability there too. if they do something wrong they have to be on the

hook for it legally. well if you do something on your own, the buck stops with you. so you can yes you can handle your own divorce you can handle your own family law matter. but i would encourage people to reach out to a lawyer and consider investing the time and money to get it done and get it done right the first time. so hopefully that's

helpful. if you have need more information on the forms you can go the texas supreme court's website. or if you need to talk to a family lawyer you can call obviously the flowers law firm (903) 965-2000 thanks have a great day.
