Q: I live in TN and my husband lives in FL. What do we need to do in order to get divorced?
We have a 6 yr old. Our son is in FL with him. I didn't want to mess him up with school by moving him. We have been separated for almost 3 maybe 4 years now. I moved to TN almost 2 years ago now. We have talked about everything and agree. There is nothin to be split between us and we don't want to do any alimony or child support. Basically jus want to sign papers and be done wit it. What do we need to do and where do we need to start at?
A: Start by filing a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage in the Florida county where your husband and son reside. It cannot be a simplified dissolution because you have a minor child. Although you and your husband do not want child support, it is required. No way around it. Feel free to call to further discuss your concerns. Good luck.
