Divorce - where do I start?

[Ashlee]

My XDH and I have been seperated since November 07. How do I get a divorce, how much does it cost, where do I even begin?

There will be no property settlement or custody battle, just a clean we-want-the-marriage-to-be-over type of deal.

HELP!!!!

you can do it yourself . there is some papers to fill out but its not hard . you can get divorce papers from leqal aid , some lawyers who do divorce will help you with papers . even family law courts should have the papers. once you fill them out , with no property or children it will go through no problems .you then have to lodge them and get them served on xdh , as a private investigator my opinion is , have them serve on him by a sheriff or commerical agent that way he cant say he wasnt serve with any papers, the person who serves the papers has to write down what time date where they where served at and what xdh said about when he got papers , hopes this help s you , good luck

YOu can print the papers off the net actually

and if you are on a concession card and you file yourself then its completly free.


good luck

If it is an amicable divorce and both parties are willing to sign without serving papers you can preint the documents off the net and take them in.

I think mione cost $40 or something like that to lodge as we co-signed and had worked out the settlement ourselves.

I just called and got an Application for Divorce kit sent out. The lady on the phone said it would be $432 but it says on the net if I hold a concession card it will be free. Yay!

Thank you so much, looks like it's not a difficult process and no need for lawyers. Thank god!
