What is a military spouse entitled to in a divorce?

Is there such a thing as a free divorce?
You can only get a free divorce if the court agrees to waive your divorce filing fee. Contact your local county courthouse clerk and ask about pro se litigant divorce requirements. You can only get a fee waiver if you and your spouse are financially unable to pay the filing fee for financial hardship reasons.
