Q: The steps to file for divorce from different states
We live in separate states. Me Mississippi him Georgia. We have 2 kids. I don't want child support or anything just a divorce. We have been separated 7 years and have almost zero contact. I have no number or address for him. Im looking for the steps if I filed without a lawyer and the cost of a lawyer if I got one.
A: Since he lives in Georgia, unless he contests it, it should be relatively straightforward and inexpensive. I would encourage you to reach out to an attorney to further discuss. Most attorneys on here, myself included, provide free consultations to see how we can help out.
