If my husband and I do not have children and he has agreed to quick claim deed the house to me, how do we proceed with non-attorney divorce?
We have been married 10 years with no biological children. I have 2 teenagers from previous a marriage. We want to divide debt and property up ourselves and he wants to quick claim deed house to me. Can we go together to courthouse and file and be done. How do I keep him from charging on credit cards with both our names after the divorce. The card company said they will not take my name off of unless paid in full and that is not an option for us.

The best way to resolve your matter is to at least consult with a family law attorney to make sure that you are not giving up your legal rights as to this dissolution of your marriage. If you do not want a lawyer and want to do the dissolution on your own, I suggest that you go down to the county clerk's office and ask for a dissolution packet for you to fill out. Most courts have such.
If it does not, I suggest that you call ypur local legal aid clinic and/or your county law library for assistance in getting the forms for your marital dissolution. Potentially your soon to be "ex" will assist you in the joint endeavor. I would call the credit card company and cancel the use of the card to protect against future charges on it.
