Re: Can I divorce my wife even if we live in two separate states?

USE CAUTION when filing for legal separation and divorce! Although there may be a verbal agreement with regard to property division, it is imperative that these issues are spelled out, in detail, in writing, and sealed by a Notary Public.

Then, one of you will need to file paperwork for Petition for Divorce with the Clerk of your local Family Court. It would probably be a wise idea to contact your County Courthouse, speak with a Clerk, and find out the steps to take to properly file the Petition.

It may take a while for the Petition to be signed and granted by the Judge, but sometimes, it's very expedient. So, be patient, don't remarry until you have DOCUMENTS from the Family Court.

There is also Mediation available through most Family Court systems. You may want to take that route. Either way it is very important that you do the research, make the calls, and take this process step by step so that it is legal and equitable.
