My husband and I want to file for divorce (uncontested) but I don't know the steps to do it. I have the forms filled out but dont know where do go from there. Do I have HIM sign the papers and then send them to the local court? Or do I just send them without his signature??

If the divorce is uncontested then in the forms there should have been a waiver of service in there. Which means that he is forfeiting his right to appear.
Take the papers to the court house, I believe it is the county clerks office, pay the filing fee and they will file them.
I don't know about your state but they made me have 3 full copies at the time of filing.
If you have any questions on exactly what you need to do then call the county clerk and ask, they should be more then willing to tell you if you need his signature before hand or what. They will also give you a piece of paper with some questions on it that you will need to be able to tell the judge when he asks at your final divorce decree hearing.
In my state, I had to file the motions and then wait 60 days before my court date for the final divorce.
Hopes this helps. and I still have a copy of all the different motions and paperwork so if you need to ask more specific questions, feel free to leave me a message on my 360 page.

Wait a 365 days and then spoil up in protecting with legal separation. Draft up a separation contract and get a legal professional or paralegal in touch now. that's less intense priced that way see you later as both activities conform to each thing. in the different case it ought to cost nicely over $10,000 in legal expenditures (on each and each part). i imagine my neighbor's entire to this point is pretty a lot $15,000 (in basic terms him) and he's not performed yet. that's on your ideal interest to formulate a separation contract now. you're going to ought to imagine about branch of sources, custody of your toddler, toddler help funds, and probably spousal help. After a 365 days is going by using and if he nonetheless has little to do with his son you'll have sole custody and he will don't have any rights to make any judgements in his son's existence (ie: college, clinical professional, the position he lives, and so on). he also ought to pay you the optimum toddler help volume. an excellent divorce legal professional or paralegal will have the capacity to inform you all of your legal rights. BTW: in case you want your relationship to paintings, you'd be wanting to seek counseling at this aspect.
