Under TX civil procedure rules can i represent myself in a divorce matter

Asked over 3 years ago - Los Angeles, CA
Divorce Family

I am filing for Divorce in San Antonio, tx. My soon to be ex- husband told me it is required to have an attorney represent you in texas court if you have minor children. I have all the forms from the district attorney to file for all matters of custody and visitation. Is this true or can I represent myself?

No, this is not true. You can represent yourself in Texas family courts, although I would advise against it.
