Yes, I helped someone fill out these papers.  You basically have to fill them out and show who owns what assets, and how the two of you will agree to split everything up.\n\nYou should get treated just the same as anyone else that would have filed through the courts otherwise.  It is time consuming yes, but it could save you a lot of money.\n\nOf course, it's only that easy, if both of you agree to everything.  If either one of you contests to who gets what, you are going to have a problem on your hands and it will take much longer to try to get through all the paperwork.

I would file tommorow if I was you, once they get a judgement you cant include them in your bankruptsy. I just filed in october and it was over in march. I downloaded the forms from gov.org website and did it myself, I filed it myself and included a form to ask the court for a payment plan for the court costs which were $187.00, to be made in payments. We filed chapter 7, and because we didnt have more than 25% equity in our home we got to keep it. We wernt behind on that bill. So we just keep on paying it like usuall. We got to keep one car for each of us. Both were already paid off. My husband had one judgement that was not allowed to be discharged. And our home equity loan and mortgage was not entered as a discharge, because we are still able to pay for that. We got $69,000 dollars worth of debts discharged (meaning we don't have to pay them)The day you file, you have to pay $50 dollars toward the total if you file the form asking for the payment plan. The forms are kinda hard to understand at first.The packet is about 20 pages. One ask to list all secured debts, which are home loans or car loans. And then you list all your unsecured debts on one page meaning credit cards and hospital bills and the like with all the totals and names and addresses of the debtors, and then a page to list your income and what your personal assets are like jewlery, art work etc. Just work one page at a time, you can do it. But work fast before the judgement, and don't tell them you are doing it. The day you file you and get a number you are protected from them harrassing you, calling you or sueing you. The papers are free to download of the government web page. You have to decide which one to file chapter 7, 11, 13 depending on you particular circumstances. 7 is total and if you own more that 25% equity in a home they can sell the home to satisfy the debtors. 13 is a repayment plan I think. And state to state has different rules. Now you have to have credit counciling to, I think. The second web site has the forms free to download and the rules of the credit counciling and a listing of the individual states that you would live in. I hope this has helped you. Remember the law was set up for you to help you, when you cant pay the bills. Dont let anyone shame you. Its your right to file..

Actually u can get a divorce with out the other person knowin it. It's always put in the paper for 3wks or so for that other person to be able to come forward. But it's prob best you go ahead and file anyway that way u know for sure.

What i would do is got to turbotax.com and plug in all the numbers to see what filing status would work best for you all. Thats what my wife and i did because we were in doubt as to what way would be best to file: Married filing jointly or married filing seperately. You dont even really have to file through them and it will still give you a pretty accurate figure as to what you will actually get

Yes it is and its rather simple.  You get a lawyer to file the proper paper work, they present it to the court and its usually a rubber stamp kind of deal.  I've done it.

You cannot get an "online" divorce - you download fill-in-the-blank divorce papers from the Internet, but you need to file divorce in the state of your legal residency - which is not Korea.  If you have moved around alot and lived on military reservations, it is most likely the state where you enlisted.  It might be easier for your husband, who is stateside, to file the divorce and you just sign the papers.  BUT...if you are a resident of Texas also here is a website about filing for divorce yourself without an attorney in Texas.  \n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/texascheapdivorce/\n\nAlso note that "do-it-yourself divorces" are NOT legal in every state.

Sure, you can probably do it yourself, but you have to know what paperwork to file. Try going to your county clerk of court's office. Ask someone there if they know of a few recently filed "modification of child support" actions filed. Since a filed lawsuit should be considered public record, they may be able to let you look at a few so that you will know how to draft your own.\n\nBeware! Your attitude and the person you are dealing with at the clerk's office makes all the difference in the world. If you aren't successful in one county, try another.\n\nGood luck!

It depends on where you live.  Most states have pre-printed forms for most of the divorce process.  You should also look for free or low-cost legal assistance in your area if you can't afford an attorney.

TurboTax worked great for me.  With a business and my wife having a seperate job I blew right through it.  It covers pretty much everything.  But, I guess it may depend on how good you are at keeping your records.  For you it's going to be best to file married but filing seperately anyway.

there are several ways to go about it, \n1. hire an attorney\n2. go through rural legal services \n3. do it yourself- just go to court house and ask for the paperwork and file it yourself. \n4. hope the ex files

It's pretty costly depending on your income and refund amount.  I once sat through 2 hours of having them do my taxes and they hit me with a $300 bill.  The good thing is that you can opt out before they submit it, which is what I did.  I then went home and filed on tutbotax.com, I paid about $50 and got the same results as the H&R Block guy.  I suggest you try to do it on your own.  If it is too difficult, then take it to a professional.

go to the family clerks office in the town you were married in and request a pro se divorce (do it yourself) you do not need a lawyer AT ALL.  I did my divorce this way and it cost me $225 to file and $90 to have him served.  He didnt show to court and he didnt have to.  I was granted a divorce 90 days after the papers were filed.  Whooo hoo

well for a simple divorce with no children and no property there are basically 3 steps:\n(1) File a Petition for Divorce in your county court (fee is ususaly around 200-250)\n(2) Get service on spouse...easiest is to have them sign a waiver of citation form (must be in front of notary)...if won't, then fill out request for service form at courthouse to have him served.\n(3) If signs waiver or if served and does not respond, then schedule court date with court, bring Final Decree of Divorce for judge to sign and show up on date.\n\nTexas law requires 60 days to run from the date of the Petition Filing and the date of the Final court date.\n\nMost counties will either have a staff attorney or a law library that can provide you the necessary forms. \n\nIf there are children involved or property in dispute, it is best (although not necessary) to have an attorney.

I've been divorced twice. I wish I had done a "do it yourself divorce" the second time, it would have saved me a lot of cash. Anyhow, as long as the two of you are in agreement and ther are no kids from the marriage, it should be pretty simple.  never had to provide any info regarding my first marraige to my lawyer during the second divorce. Good Luck!!

I live in Ohio. No, you don't have to be legally separated to file. I've been there, and all you have to do is get an attorney. He will file for you.(After you pay the retainer fee). Depending on whether you and your spouse agree on everything, or if there is a dispute over anything, it will be filed as a disolution or a divorce. Divorce is more expensive.
