Do I need a lawyer for uncontested divorce

You are always better off and its not that expensive with no kids and an agreement. But, if you want a DIY project, read this: http://www.tyla.org/tyla/assets/File/ProSeDivorceHandBookENG14RevisedP1WEB.pdf

You are not required to have a lawyer for any legal procedure, but you would be much better off with one experienced in family law. Property and possibly children are affected by divorce. It is not wise to do it yourself or attempt DIY. You should at least go consult with several attorneys to determine whether you can get it done with counsel.

You can attempt to do pro se, but as the other attorneys indicated, its much better to be safe than sorry. Especially if any property or children are involved. You dont want to have to deal with the consequences of going pro se and messing up for years to come

You may represent yourself in Texas. However, even if a divorce is uncontested, you should hire an attorney if you have a marital residence, children, retirement(s), investments and similar aspects involved in your divorce. A family law specialist can make sure that all of your agreements are drafted properly and are enforceable.
