You need to go to the court where the divorce was filed. Go to the clerk of the court and ask to see the file. You will need the case number. In reviewing the file you need to determine its status. For example was everything complete except for the final decree? Determine if other steps were incomplete. If the final decree is the only step remaining you can obtain the necessary forms from the clerk, a self-help office or online. You must determine whether intervening events might necessitate asking the court to make the decree final at an earlier date if so you need additional paperwork to address this issue. If a currently dated decree is all that is needed the process should be fairly simple, otherwise you may need to contact a self-help office for advice. Many bar associations sponsor clinics that can provide advice. Additionally, pro bono programs may provide help. Public law centers in your area also often provide advice. Good luck. |
