What are the steps to making a divorce official?
By
My husband and I are currently separated but I have spoken to him about a divorce. He says he will sign anything that is needed.
Can anyone tell me the steps to filing for a divorce and making everything final?
Can I fill out the forms and just take them down to the court without getting a lawyer?
We do not own a house or have any kids.
Thanks!!

Yes, you can complete the paperwork yourself if you don’t want a lawyer, or you can use an online preparation service (my friend used one & said it was quite simple and very stress free).
You basically fill out the paperwork, decide on who gets what, file the papers at the court house then they’ll provide you a court date. The problem is, if you do it alone, and you have questions the Clerks at the court are NEVER willing to give you any help - they basically tell you you’re on your own. That’s why my friend did the online thing. Here’s the site in case you want to check it out:

Hope this helps
