Divorce/Legal Separation:
​Filing Separate (alone) - Without Children under 18
  ​

You will find two checklists which take you step-by-step through the divorce / legal separation filing process. The checklists break the process down into two parts, Part 1 & Part 2; you must complete both.

Part 1 includes: everything you need to initially file and have your spouse served. Part 2 includes everything you need to complete after your spouse has been served.

For qualifying low-income individuals, the courts offer a fee waiver. If you would like to request a fee waiver, you will find the form at the bottom of this page.
