The Pro Se Divorce Clinic seeks to assist low-income individuals whom the Bureau cannot represent directly in obtaining a divorce. The clinic offers low-income individuals with one-time assistance in filling out paperwork and pursuing a divorce pro se.

The clinic is a powerful resource for potential client who are not financially eligible or do not satisfy triggers.  Laura Openshaw, currently working at the Bureau as a Clinical Fellow, proposed the idea for the clinic to the Board of Directors in January 2010, and the initiative was launched in March 2010.
