In family law, to get a divorce, first you should get together certain documents: birth certificates of yourself and your children, a marriage license, any immigration or naturalization documents, and any written agreement that you may have made with your spouse.
In addition, you should prepare a list of all significant property that you and your spouse own. Include the numbers on credit cards, bank accounts, stock brokerage accounts, insurance policies, social security account and the like. This will make your lawyer's job easier and will save time. A lawyer will be able to tell you exactly what your state requires as well as what will help make the divorce go more smoothly.
Where may I file for divorce?
You file for divorce in the county and state where you and/or your spouse reside.
To get a divorce, how long must I have lived the state?
This varies from state to state. County residence requirements might be different from the state residence requirement.
