Self-help Packets
Filing with the courts has been made simpler using these self-help packets containing court pleadings, instructions and other pertinent information.

• Bankruptcy- Chapter 7
  Chapter 7 in the bankruptcy code is the liquidation of most debts. The only debts you cannot liquidate are student loans, taxes of any type, and child support or alimony. Chapter 7 is the most common form of consumer bankruptcy. If you have come to the conclusion that filing for bankruptcy is the only way for you, this self-help packet will save you time and money. It includes necessary forms and instructions. You will need to pay court costs of $200 to $250 in filing fees.

• Divorce
  A divorce can be particularly upsetting. The divorce packets provide information, instructions and documents to file for divorce. Both parties will need to agree to all the conditions listed on the petition. There is a sixty day Kansas residency requirement prior to filing the petition. The filing fee at this time is $66.50.

• Legal Separation
  Although a legal separation is possible, it is not generally used and increases costs. If you are not ready for a divorce but want to talk things over with someone, you should consider counseling services. The filing fee at this time is $66.50.

• Name Change
  There are several reasons you might want to change your name and so long as the reasons do not include fraud or hiding from creditors, it is a fairly simple matter. The packet provides all documents and instructions. The filing fee at this time is $66.50.

• Power of Attorney
  A Power of Attorney enables a person to do business and/or make decisions for another person. The grantor should have complete faith in the person granted the power of attorney. Once granted, the power of attorney remains in effect until revoked by the grantor. The forms are simple to fill out and have notarized.

• Pre-Nuptial Agreement
  A pre-nuptial agreement is sometimes called a premarital or antenuptial agreement. A pre-nuptial agreement spells out the terms of an agreement between a couple before they marry as to what happens to the assets in the event they divorce or pass away.

• Wills
  If you are single, married, with children, or without children you need to prepare a will. A will allows you to decide who will receive your assets, take care of unfinished business and raise your children after you pass away.
