PRO SE DIVORCE

WHAT IS PRO SE DIVORCE?
Pro se means that you are representing yourself in court, rather than having an attorney represent you. You follow the same procedure, but you must fill out and file all the legal forms yourself.

DO-IT-YOURSELF DIVORCE GUIDE

The Do-It-Yourself Divorce Guide and Do-It-Yourself Guide Supplement (must be used together) are written to help people without legal training use Connecticut State Courts to obtain a divorce without the use of an attorney. The books are available free to anyone and can be obtained from the Superior Court Clerk's office, the Public Information Desks, the Court Services Centers, and at the Judical Branch website at http://www.jud.state.ct.us. Sets of books are also available at public libraries, legal aid offices, and domestic violence shelters.
