Hi Folks,
Alas, I must look into what a divorce in my home state would mean. Does anybody know if there are any internet sites or books that will give a layperson's overview of the divorce process, laws, how things are divided etc.
I need it for California and Washington state as I am not sure where the divorce will take place.

United Fathers of America www.ufa.orgBy the way both states, Washington and California are very mother friendly. The divorce would take place where the children have had residence for longer than 6 months. If there are no children then the divorce may be filed from any state. If there are property issues then the divorce would have to take place in the state where the property is becuase of jurisdiction over said property. If there are no children or property issues then you may file from either state.

Actually I believe you have to meet the residency requirements of the state to file in it.
I think most places require 6 months of residency to file. So if your STBX has lived somewhere for close to 6 months, they may be able to file the D in that state.
Definitely check into it though, you don't want to have to fly to another state if you don't have to.

Try these sites also... Divorce Info Divorce Source They have state-specific info. I'm not familiar with your story. Are you the one filing? If so, are you sure it's the only recourse you have?
