While some divorces don’t require a lawyer, keep in mind that if you represent yourself, the court will hold you to the same exact standard as a lawyer, which means that you must be knowledgeable of the divorce laws that may apply to your case and the courtroom procedures. Likewise, all divorces will require a hearing or two, depending on the issues that need to be resolved.
You need to get everything right in terms of negotiating with your spouse and their lawyer. At the very least, consider discussing your specific case with a lawyer before deciding on going through the divorce process on your own.
