The Final Step
Filing
We understand that this seems
like an intimidating time. All of us here have been
through this at least once and some of us, twice
This is a general overview
of what happens at the courthouse. Please keep in
mind that all states are different so the actual process
may vary a little.
If you have questions prior
to filing your papers, please contact us and one of
our technicians will walk you through it.
First, you will want to make
sure that everything is in the papers that you want.
If we prepare your documents for you, we will make
any corrections for you.
Next you will want to get them
signed. If your spouse is signing, make sure that
they are signed and notarized accordingly.
Once the documents are all
signed and notarized you will need to make two copies
of each form. This is very important in all cases.
You will want a signed copy for your records and you
will need one for your spouse.
You will then take all of the
copies to the court house along with a self addressed
stamped envelope for you and your spouse.
The clerk will stamp all of
the copies filed and give you back the two copies.
If you are having your spouse served, this is what
you will serve on your spouse, one set of the filed
forms.
If this is an agreed divorce,
you will need to mail or hand deliver the copy of
divorce documents.
Please keep in mind that there
are court fees associated with filing for a divorce.
If you are income eligible we will fill out the court
fee waiver forms for you, free of charge. Our technicians
are very familiar with this.
Now you have the three basic
steps for getting a divorce. If you have specific
questions, please feel free to contact
us.
