How do I file my own divorce papers in Tennessee if I have adult children?

I want to file for divorce in TN. All my children are grown up (the youngest is 20) but I cannot find the correct printable forms. I have only found forms for divorce with no children, or divorce with children under 18. Where can I find printable divorce forms for Tennessee for someone with adult children? By the way, I still count one of my kids as a dependent because she is still in school.

If you have no minor children, your divorce won't include a parenting plan and child support. Choose the forms with no minor children.

I thought I would choose the "no children" form, but the instructions specified that I could only use it if no children had been born to or adopted by my husband and I, and that's not the case.

I'd call the courthouse and ask the clerk for a clarification to see if there is indeed a well hidden "adult children" form then.

Thanks IMHO, I called the TN county clerk office and they referred me to the circuit court. When I called the circuit court office about obtaining divorce forms, they said they didn't have any forms and they didn't know where I could get them, because most people had an attorney file on their behalf. They said that if I wanted to file my own divorce, then it was up to me to find my own forms and they couldn't do anything for me. I suppose I will just try to get a lawyer.

They couldn't even simply tell you if such a form even existed?
