Dover Plains, NY asked in Divorce for New York

Q: What is the least expensive way to divorce my husband in CA? We have been separated for 3 years and I live In NY

We were married in 1991 in CA and have grown children, no property and the divorce would be uncontested. I have lived in Dutchess County since July of 2021. There are no assets. I have student loan debt that was taken out in my name for our child's college, but I might be willing to take that on myself if it would make this divorce simple and final. I do not want to be responsible for debt he has incurred since out separation.
