Re: How To File For Divorce

If you go to my website, http://riskmgmt.biz/prose.htm, then you will see that I draw up the paperwork for an agreed divorce / no fault divorce for about $149.

It is relatively simple to file the documents, make one court appearance, and your divorce should be granted. At least that has been my experience in the past helping parties with agreed divorces.
