No money no house he lives with our son me our daughter. Married in his state. How do I divorce him without traveling to his state? He owns a used car that he can have?
A: If you are not seeking alimony, a monetary award, a share of his pension or retirement, or property division, you can file in your state of residence; or if you are seeking any of those things, you may need his consent to, or waiver of, personal jurisdiction in your state of residence. If he cooperates, the divorce may be wholly uncontested and can be filed and scheduled for a 10 minute divorce hearing within 90-120 days of filing.
