Whether contested or uncontested, a family law matter can cost a client thousands of dollars if an attorney is involved in the case. Nemec Pro Se Legal Services can draft documents and provide procedural guidance at an affordable rate.
Choose from the following service areas:
One of our most popular legal services, our pro se divorce package is the perfect solution for those clients requiring divorce paperwork, guidance, and instruction without the extra expense of having an attorney represent them in full. This package is 100% created and supported by Donald C. Nemec, J.D., and geared toward those couples who will agree on getting divorced, dividing their property and debts, and their parenting plan (regarding custody, visitation, and support).
What to Expect - Step by Step
1. Complete the questionnaire that provides us with the general information we need to draft your divorce paperwork and then make payment online through our secure merchant account.
2. After you make payment, we will draft all of the documents and instructions required to complete your divorce - including a customized Divorce Decree that clearly states the division of your marital property and debts, your agreement regarding your children, and all other applicable details. All documents will be emailed to you within 5-7 business days after you make payment.
3. Filing the divorce petition to start your case is simple. It can be done through mail or in person. We provide a cover letter to mail in with the documents and very specific instructions on exactly what to do. You can file for divorce within one week of making payment and completing our questionnaire.
4. After filing the divorce petition, you must wait 61 days before you can finalize your divorce. In this interim period, your spouse will sign two documents and then be out of the picture with nothing left to do in the divorce proceeding. If you decide to make changes to your final divorce decree, we will do so at no additional charge (up to two revisions).
5. You will go to the courthouse after 61 days have lapsed to finalize your divorce. We will not provide an attorney to attend the hearing with you, however, we will prepare you 100% for what to expect on that day - down to every detail including the exact words to say to the judge. (The hearing will last less than two minutes if you use our system. We make it easy for you.) The judge will sign your Decree and your divorce will be complete. The court clerk will mail your ex-spouse a copy of the decree so you will not have to have further contact with them.
Other Information
The statewide service is done exclusively via email and telephone. All of the work will be completed by Donald C. Nemec, J.D. and all communication will come directly from him. We do not employ any paralegals or other assistants to help with the divorces. Also, we do not run your data through a computer program to spit out your documents the way most other document services do. Instead, we personally type out your legal forms so to ensure they are correct and customized to fit your particular needs.
This service does not include mere paperwork as most flat rate do-it-yourself divorce packages do. It instead includes:
- Detailed written instructions that are customized for your Texas county,
- all required customized and complete paperwork, ready to file, and
- full support throughout the process by a Juris Doctor.
Only one hearing is required during your divorce. It will occur in about two months after you file the divorce, is very simple, and we provide 100% support to eliminate the unknowns and intimidation. (Not that we do not attend the hearing with you, but give you complete instructions.) You and your spouse will need to come to agreement on any disputed issues before you finalize the divorce. Please note that this service does not include negotiations, mediation work, or full representation by an attorney.
How Much Will You Pay?
As long as your spouse agrees to sign paperwork, you will only pay our low flat rate document-preparation fee and the court filing fee (if you do not qualify to have it waived).There will be no additional fees.
Legal Fee:
Spouses without children: $199 + tax
