Where are the forms and procedures for uncontested divorce in California and NYC?

Question

Hi all,

Could anybody give me the pointers about where to find the forms and procedures for "uncontested" or "peaceful" divorce in California?

If you happen to know the forms and procedures for NYC, please also kindly give us the pointers.

We are weighing between filing divorce in NYC or in California. Which place is easier and less costly?

We don't have properties or kids as we are freshly out of college. I guess we don't need an attorney.

Thanks!

--- As I said, We don't have any properties, or kids. We have nothing to split! We have been in separation for 2 years. I guess we just need the forms and procedures. Please give the pointers! Thank you!

Answer 1

In California you can go to a paralegal and they can do all the paperwork for you, depending on how much property you have and if there are children involved, it is usually pretty cheap.

I beg to differ with the responder above, I got my divorce in California and we were allowed to divy everything up as we had decided ourselves.

It costs about the same in either NYC or CA, but CA forces you to split your assets 50/50. NYC lets you both decide who gets what. You can do this through any attorney for a VERY low fee. Just ask for a Dissolutionment. You can also purchase kits at several bookstores, but I don't recommend the kits.
