Philadelphia Self Help No-Fault Divorce Manual

By David Webster •  July 14, 2017

The Philadelphia Self Help No-Fault Divorce Manual was prepared by Leslie Engle, Esquire, Gloria Gilman, Esquire, and the Women’s Law Project.
It takes the user step-by-step through the process for separation or mutual consent in no-fault divorces. 

The Manual has been updated to reflect the recent changes in the law regarding separation divorces. To find out more, check out the introduction to the manual, which explains how the change that went into effect in December 2016 may affect those filing (see Separation Divorce, p.3).
