Divorce Question?

[lilgapeach]

Everybody is right. The posting on the newspaper is only to be able to show that someone was "served". Although this is only used when you have no clue of the whereabouts of your spouse, as in desertion. You will be granted a divorce on your grounds, kinda like someone that doesn't show up to court to defend themselves loses by default.

QD is right. It sounds like in your case you should just let the sheriff serve them and if he decides not to show up to his own divorce case, then he's just plain stupid and deserves to lose.

Yeah well my thing is we have been separated for like 5 years and I am broke as hell so I have to do this the cheep way and the court house said that when I file the papers they have to be signed by both of us and noterised and the instruction paper I have says that we both have to sign them infront of the notry person, I talked to an officer in that county about serving him the papers and he said that they could only do that if I were doing this with a lawyer. I hate cops I hate my ex lol I wish that after so long of being separated you were automaticaly divorced lol, that would be to easy though.
