Affordable Divorce Options

Full Conversation

I'm trying to get a divorce but am on SSI and cannot afford a lawyer
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I may be able to provide general advice. Could you please tell me which state you are residing in? This is important as divorce laws can vary by location.
I am in Illinois and she lives in arkansas
Hi ****, I understand your predicament. Divorce proceedings can be complicated, especially when spouses reside in different states.
- Illinois and Arkansas have different divorce laws.
- In Illinois, you could file for divorce if you've lived there for at least 90 days.
- Arkansas requires a *-day residency before filing for divorce.
Please seek advice from local legal aid societies or pro bono legal services for low-income individuals.
Ok thank you
You're welcome, ****. I'm glad I could provide some guidance. If you have any other questions in the future, don't hesitate to ask. Stay strong and good luck with everything.
