Shop around for a good atty.  I know one who only charged $75 for an uncontested divorce. (not including the filing fees).\n\nYou might also try your local lawschool/library.  My lawschool's library had a wide range of forms for pro se (do it yourself) patrons.

You need to get to the courthouse and establish custody!  You need to get full custody, and get court ordered child support.  GET IN THERE ASAP!  Put it on paper!

The quickest and easiest way to go would be if you had no kids and weren't contesting any property, but since you have the kids, I would suggest child support.\n\nSimply put, the less the lawyer has to do (eg property, child support, custody, etc) the less expensive the fees. You could search around for an attourney who would be flexible and work with you to make payment arrangements and that sort of thing. Make sure you ask about that before setting up a consultation though, cuz even those cost alot of money.

ok my mom and dad are divorced and it all depends on how many children there are if he won't pay you up front you could always get it taken out of his pay check or take his as* to court untill he gets so sick of it......and make sure you get joint-custidy(something like that I can't spell very well) ok

it is the best way, you can say you don't know where he is then they list it in the papers and he is not here to see it or contest, so honey you have it made.  it may be your cheapest divorce ever.

Send her a certified letter about your intentions of picking up the kids. Actually show up at the designated time and have a witness.  Bring your written visitation decree along with you and notify the local sheriff's office of your intention to enforce the divorce decree.  Keep a written book of all of your attempts to visit your kids. If you find her new phone number, record all future calls.  Gather your child support receipts in a shoe box if you don't pay through the Court.  File contempt of court charges.  If you can't afford a lawyer, be willing to represent yourself in court.I spent $40,000 to get visitation for my husband.  I was the new wife and I kept good records and tape recordings and if I had to do it again, I would have represented him myself.  After 2 years he won visitation and it was very complicated...Don't stop paying child support and read the Book of Psalms in the Bible....

Good question...no GREAT QUESTION!  This may help many people.  In some states you can just go to the courthouse and ask them how to do a divorce yourself.  The court clerk gave me a copy of an old divorce from their files and said take it home and retype it with your name and info in it.  Then come back here tomorrow with the $75.00 filing fee and wait.  After about 2 months I was called to the divorce court and it was done in about 15 minutes.  So thats it: 75 dollars and 15 minutes of my time.  Yes...do it yourself and save a lot of money and headaches.  You don't even  need to buy one of those kits.

You can get a legal separation, but do everything right so your entitled to half of everything, even if you were only married for a short time.  Also they may use cruel & inhuman treatment, sounds horrible, but dont focus too much on that.  If he wants a divorce to it should be a breeze, if not, do what you have to and cover yourself financially. A good lawyer, good-luck.  They are theives...be carefull. Do some reading first, because the less you no the more they will take advantage of you and guess what that means $$$$$$$$.

Go hire a lawyer.\n\nOr go to the courts....to the division that you'll need the order from.

All you need to do is petition the court (also called "suing for divorce").  Unless he has a valid reason to continue to delay it, the judge can compell him to sign it.

HOW TO FIND A DIVORCE ATTY IN SO CAL:\n\n1. Swing a dead cat.\n\n2. While walking down the street, pretend to fall and hurt yourself. Wait 10 seconds. An attorney will be there.\n\n3. While at Starbucks, whisper quietly to your girlfriend, "I'm getting a divorce and I need a lawyer." At least two will sit down with you.\n\n4. Go downtown and peek into a dark alley. The guy in the suit you see getting "serviced" by a young man will be a good lawyer.\n\n5. Pop into a seedy looking massage parlor, the man getting the "full release" massage will be a great lawyer. If you hear another man arguing about the quality and price of his "full service" massage, hire him at once, as he will be an awesome attorney.

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.

yeah .. sounds like you're ready ... \n\nYou might need some time to save up some $$$ of your own ( if possible )\n\nStart looking for a divorce lawyer ( I would highly recommend one if you have any kids, property, equity, loans, ... etc.... with him )
