Mutual Divorce

[USnoiva 0]

My ex and I separated 1.5 years ago after 4 years of marriage....

I sometimes have trouble dating bc I am still married and thats a big turn-off to guys. Plus, my ex has a girlfriend and she is LIVID with him bc we haven't formally "terminated" our marriage yet. (and they live together)

So, here's some details:

We are both friendly, no kids, no property, no $. We just want to walk in, end the marriage, walk out.

He has his stuff, I have mine...

Im' not going after him for anything, and he is not going after me for anything...we just want to move on with our lives.

How much is it to file joint? I don't have any extra money and he is struggling with the economy too.

Do we REALLY need a lawyer? I can't afford a lawyer.

We want to do this the CHEAPEST and SIMPLEST way possible.

Family law is different state by state... google "Massachusetts divorce law" and see what they allow for a uncontested divorce.

Don't know about your state , but in many states you can get a self-do-it packet, and file yourself. Another option that might be available to you is a paralegal, it would be much cheaper than an attorney !

Good luck

In California you can go to the court house and buy a pack of divorce forms. Last I knew it cost about twelve dollars. You can look online for how to fill them out. It is really cheap as long as you both agree. Mass is probably the same way.

Thank you...he is going to get the paperwork and I will fill them out since I'm the american and he doesn't feel comfortable doing it.
