Answer:
It is possible to use forms, such as those at the links below, to file for separation without an attorney. The trial court may approve a valid separation and property settlement agreement and incorporate it into the dissolution decree if the agreement is free from fraud or undue influence and if it is fair and equitable. When the parties are in agreement on the terms, much expense can be saved.
