About the book
This book is the culmination of over a decade of “real world” knowledge gained while navigating the Texas family law system. I have worked with countless students over the past decade, yet I know there are many more that need help. I wrote this book to assist any Pro Se litigant understand what is happening in their case, how best to respond, what to file, and how to intelligently advocate for themselves and their children.
Enforcement. Modification. Filing for Divorce. TROs. If you want to file it, we’ll teach you how.
Strategy. Tips. Feedback. Case Studies. The collective knowledge that only experience can bring.

“This book is a genuinely useful resource for anyone walking into family court without an attorney. What sets it apart isn’t just the explanations of filings or procedure, it’s the clarity about what actually happens in a real courtroom. The author doesn’t sugar-coat the realities that pro se litigants face.
Most guides talk about documents. This one prepares you for the environment. He explains the dynamics, the pressure, and the way you’re treated when you’re pro se, and that insight is invaluable. Half of surviving family court is knowing what to expect, and he nails that part.”
Robert Garza · Family Law Reform Advocate and International Speaker
“Ben’s Pro Se Guide has been an absolute game changer for me. In just a few short weeks, I learned more and accomplished more advocating for myself than I did in four years of struggling through the system on my own. This book doesn’t just explain the law in theory — it shows you how to use it.”

“The language is so easy for the layman to understand. It’s down-to-earth, yet clear and concise. Mr. Schooley goes through what you might expect as a Pro Se litigant in family court, relatable examples and stories, how to handle it, and then includes examples of the documents to file to the court in various circumstances. Everyone in Texas family court cases needs to read this, whether or not they are self-representing!”
