There's no Federal constitutional right to a jury trial in family law cases. The jury trial guarantees in the Bill of Rights apply only to civil ``actions at law''; at the time of the Bill of Rights, divorces were ``actions in equity'', and do not fall within the right to jury trial.
To start a divorce or legal separation, you begin by filling out two court forms: a Petition and a Summons. If you and your spouse (or domestic partner) have children together, you will also need to fill out at least one other form about your children.
You can get a divorce without a lawyer. Your court's Self-Help Center staff can help you with forms and offer legal information. If you have a lot of property or debt, you can hire a lawyer to help with all or part of your case.
