    Free Divorce
    I need to know how to get a free divorce from a woman who is cheating and how to get visitation, after she's lied to everyone about you?

    I have never heard of a free divorce.

    You could look up a Legal Aid in your area, it doesn't sound like you would even qualify for an uncontested divorce, since you are asking about visitation.

    Divorce is rarely amicable, that is the reason it is rarely, if ever, free.

    As far as I know, there is no such thing as a free divorce. It's a LEGAL procedure, so at the very least, there would be court fees.

    How you get custody or visitation after she lied about you is to have a VERY good lawyer.

    If you don't have a lot of assets to divide you can get a simple no fault divorce for around $50.

    Then you go to court and file for primary or joint custody. Make sure you have proof against any accusations as much as you possibly can.

    It seems as though you have children. Correct? If so, it is impossible to get a free divorce. You will need an attorney to iron out visitation and child support.

    Free ? Have your soon to be ex pay for an attorney and agree to all the terms

    Free ? You still have to pay the court filing, but if you are in the US and meet the low income guidelines you may get help from legal services

    But in general if the other party does not agree, it is going to be costly, since you will have to be fighting, doing medication, the costs start at about 5000 and go up.

    In a word, no. Figure on a few thousand dollars if you want to have a say in how it turns out. Sometimes people in need can get some assistance or a sliding scale through various legal assistance organizations, but it's based on your finances, not on how badly you feel you've been wronged.
