new here - how do i do it?
| Sun, 11-12-2006 - 3:53pm |
ok, i have officially moved to this board from the betrayed spouses support. after having a 9 month affair during our engagement, wedding, and first 3 months of marriage, i am giving up. i can't keep doing this. so i moved out yesterday. i packed everything up, rented a u-haul, and moved back to my parents house.
tomorrow i will go to get the divorce process started. does it cost anything right now? how does it work? i live in wisconsin. if anyone can give me a quick rundown of steps, costs, advice... should we file jointly or individually? does it make a differece in how much it costs? we are not getting lawyers because we are in agreement about how things are split.
any advice?
thanks!

Divorce laws and process

be there. The judge grants the divorce and off you go to your new life.
That really depends on the area of the country you're in and the complexity of the case. I have never known anyone to get away with less than a $1,500 retainer in CT, and that is VERY low end. Most of the time, it is closer to 3k-4k.
Also, many legal aid associations no loner accept divorce cases, unfortunately. I even checked into the local law schools, and they were unable to help. I have seen so many women have to file on their own and navigate the legal system with limited assistance because of this. Unfortunately, the options and resources are sometimes limited.

You've gotten some great advice, but I wanted to be sure that you saw our Community Website.
