Yes, you can legally get a divorce without a lawyer, but most people have no clue to the long-term implications of the agreements they reach, e.g., tax liabilities. They may not realize what they are entitled to keep according to applicable federal and state laws. So I would not recommend that most people get a divorce without each party at least getting a consultation from an attorney.
Oh, and those "nasty" divorce lawyers run up the bills and create lasting enmity where none need exist. Consider divorce mediation--it's calmer and saves everyone a lot of money.
