IF you're both in agreement and have decided who gets what, etc. buy a divorce kit. Fill it out and take it the judge.

It's not difficult or expensive; just paperwork and filing fees.  Here is what he and you have to do:  after the petition is approved, it will be a few months if you can get your documents together quickly.\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2994.html

Get a divorce kit at Walmart and follow the instructions.  As long as he doesn't contest anything it will cost you very little.

bad idea. you need to provide far more info. is custody something you agreed to? have you determined how the situation will be handled if one of you changes your mind? how about if the circumstances change? \nthose are your children (or somebody's children). i know it is costly but if anything in the world is worth spending that money, its your kids.

Separation does not mean divorce.  You still have to get the legal paper work done.  Check with your state to see how this is done.

Money is the number one issue for arguments in most of all relationships.  If you live together and share bills, I think the best thing to do is set up a dollar amounts for which you both deserve a say in , for instance purchases over $100.00.  All other purchase can come out of an " allowance that you both have weekly or monthly.  That has saved a lot of unnecessary fighting in my own relationship.  \nIt is best to get this problem resolved early if marriage is even remotely in your future.  Money problems have been known to cause a lot of divorces.  It is also a matter of trust. \nGood luck

Why?  Are you two reconciling?  If you both agreed that you are not going through with the divorce, then there is nothing that needs to be done.  \n\nAs long as he doesn't file a Response and you don't file a request for Judgment...then it's just a Petition for Divorce.

You can get the paperwork on-line in Ohio, it's much less expensive then using a lawyer or getting things from the court.  There are still many documents to fill out though and I would say that you should agree with how everything will be divided before going this route.  If there's any disagreement at all, spend the extra money and get a lawyer.

Problem #1 - You argued so much about buying a home that you stopped talking about it.  This tells me you should not be buying a home together and perhaps shouldn't even be married unless you plan to get into some heavy-duty counseling.\n\nProblem #2 - You told him to go ahead and buy the house he likes.  That was childish because you did not mean it.  Never say something you do not mean.\n\nProblem #3 - He did it.  That was even more childish.  He should never have made such a decision without you, no matter how upset you were when you told him to do it.  Suppose you'd told him to "Go ahead and have an affair....?"\n\nProblem #4 - The house is in his name.  Of course it is.  He couldn't have put your name on the house without you signing anything.  Of course this means the mortgage is also in his name... and actually since the home was purchased during the course of your marriage, if you move into it, it's marital property considered to be the primary residence where you will cohabit, so you could divorce him and get half of that house in settlement no matter whose name it's in in most states so maybe that's not a problem.  If he dies, it should go to you, but I'd check that out too.\n\nProblem #5 - The biggest problem... is that this is no way for a married couple to behave.  This was a controlling and obnoxious thing for him to do and it sounds to me like you're married to a total jerk (no offense intended) and I rather doubt this is the ONLY controlling thing he's ever done.\n\nYou can always tell him "I said buy the house you like.  I never said I would live there with you" and leave.  Or, if you jointly own a house now, you can refuse to sign off on the sale of that home so he probably won't be ABLE to purchase this one and you'll still have the home in which you currently reside.\n\nIf you currently rent or whatever, then that won't work obviously... but I think you just need to seriously re-evaluate your selection of a mate or at minimum the way you interact together.  Sorry    :(

I divorced through an on line service.  I recommend it only if you and your ex can negotiate a settlement amicably.  If there is any disagreement on the division of assets or parenting and custody plans then it is better to use a mediation service or lawyers.  We were able to work it all out and it did not take much time and we did not have to go to court.  The cost as I recall was about $400.  My state is a no fault state.  I don't know about yours.

That can be tough.  I believe when you are married property should be joint but that seems to be a problem in your situation.  I think you need to sit down and ask him how he feels about it.  Whether you're paying rent or paying on bills depends on your accounts. You just don't want to pay a lot for a home you have no ownership over if something does happen someday. See if you can come to an agreement after a few years or have something declared in a prenup that helps cover you. We all plan for forever but unfortunately it doesn't always happen.  Good luck in your marriage!! Have a great wedding!

depending on what state you live in yes. Is there any chance of working a deal with him out of courts? If he is unwilling/unable to make your relationship work will he split 50/50 and walk away?\nmost states have a website where you can search your situation and you have definatly have some legal grounds since he entered a verbal aggrement to be married to you with no intention of doing so but as to the extent depends on where you are.

If you use a website, generally those cost money.  And each form varies from state to state, so the best bet is really to go to a law library for your state.\n\nYou should consider a lawyer - you might be surprised at how inexpensive it is to file an uncontested divorce.

Make a list separately of what you both want, enjoy, need - pay no attention to order or anything Else. Then get together and compare, here you can eliminate or even add to a single list you agree on. Then place them in order of importance, please no arguing - if it is important to you (or him) then it is - no matter what you (or he) thinks. Now we have a list, next place a time next to them. House - 3 years, vacation - 1 year etc. Then put dollar amounts next to them - house deposit needed $10,000 divide that by 36 (3yearsx12) you now have a monthly value. Once you have done this you will see that you have monthly values for the things you are trying to do. Then add up everything and get a monthly total. You'll either have enough to do it all or not enough to do it all. Then sit down again and work out what you can eliminate or reduce - going to the bar (or whatever) once every two months is cheaper than going every week(or night!). House deposit in 4 years instead of three etc - Once you can see what you can achieve, and you are both on board, then it is easy to do. This may take a few talks, so get coffee and cookies and sit in a nice and comfortable room. \nThe idea is to give your spouse something they want, and help them understand in order to get it, they need to save/cut back/stick to budget - whatever term works best - to get it. Where 'it' is something they (and you as a couple) agree is worth saving for.\nGood Luck!

Why cant you contest the divorce. Go see the judge and tell him you do not want this to take place. Dont sign the papers be tough.

I'm afraid that you still have to get a divorce; But being apart that long and him being in a different country makes it a lot easier. Contact a lawyer in your city and he can run an add in the local paper. Then you can divorce without him even signing the papers. I know this works as I myself have done it.
