In this section, we're offering a few free, downloadable forms that you can use in your Texas no-fault divorce, and we'll be adding more. We've got to admit that we thought it was a hoot when we found out other web-sites were charging people to download the Pauper's Oath. Only a lawyer could come up with something like that! So here's what you need to use these forms:
- a program that will unzip zipped files, such as Winzip. If you don't have it on your computer, you can download it here:
- a program that will open microsoft word documents, most commonly microsoft word or wordpad.
-some very minimal skill in word processing. If you can write a letter on your computer, you should be able to use these. Each file contains a "readme" document that contains complete instructions.
- a printer with black ink and some white paper (or you can save it to
disk and print it out on a friend's computer.
This is the document
that you use if you really can't afford to pay the Court Costs for your
divorce. You should NOT use it unless that's really and truly the
case. Be prepared to show some documentation that you can't pay when
you go into to file your papers. Click on one of the three links
below, depending on whether you have no children, one child, or multiple
children.

In most cases,
you'll have no need of these forms. Usually, the District Clerk's
Office will prepare the citations when you pay for serving your spouse.
There are, however, a few jurisdictions out there where they still require
you to prepare your own If that's the case, then download one of
the following files, depending on whether or not your spouse lives in the
county where the divorce is being processed.

This is a sample letter of instruction, such as you would send to a Sheriff's office to have your spouse served with the divorce papers. It comes with instructions for filling it out, as well. Just click on the link and down-load it to whatever directory you want to use.
Here are two child-support calculators from the Texas Family Code. They allow you to determine your probable child-support, based on your net income. We also, of course, have detailed instructions for figuring it under our unique Divorce Course section.
