What is the cheapest way to file for an uncontested divorce if all arrangements for property have been made already and no lawyer is needed?
An uncontested divorce is similar to a summary divorce except that the parties can have children and considerable property and assets to be distributed. What makes the divorce "uncontested" is that both parties have already addressed the issues of property division, alimony and custody, visitation and child support. All that is required is for the judge to approve the couples' agreement and the divorce can be granted.Answerto the best of my knowledge most states allow pro se(self-representation) or print the divorce papers that apply to your state&/or county fill them in you both sign submit them to the proper court & your divorced! The judge will most likely be happy not to hear the case, but make sure you have covered everything in the papers once you get a judge to sign NO GOING BACK! AnswerI'm not positive about other states but in Tennesse there is a state filing fee to file a divorce which when I did it it was around $225, that's the cheapest it can be done here. All you have to do is fill out the right papers and submit them to the court. They will assign a court date, it helps if at least one person is there to answer any questions but you don't actually even have to go. Some lawyers will file a divorce for $450 if its uncontested and everything is already settled. Pretty much they charge that for them to fill out papers that you can do if you feel comfortable doing it. In Illinois there is a Waiver form that you can have the judge sign if you can't afford the filing fees. When the judge signs that Waiver your can file all the papers you need to and not have to pay any filing or court fees. you can get all the forms and the will give you examples of how to fill out the papers you have to file for a divorce Pro Se (without a lawyer and the fees they would charge.) Also if can't afford a lawyer can go the the Legal Assistance Offices and get a lawyer for free.

Can a CA resident get a divorce in another state?
Yes. I am not sure from your question whether you, a CA resident, would be filing for divorce in another state or whether your ex-spouse is filing for divorce in another state. Either way, divorces filed in other state are valid so long as they comport with the divorce laws of that particular state. One of the main requirements in most jurisdictions is a residency requirement, so that the person seeking divorce must be a legal resident of the state before he or she can obtain a divorce there. Put differently, you or your ex-spouse (whichever one is filing for the divorce) must be a resident of the state they are filing for the divorce in. However, this requirement is sometimes quite short, as low as six weeks.
How does a California inmate file for an annulment?
County Jail or State Prison? Either way, contact your facility law library; often the staff can/will provide help to answer these types of questions. Basically you have someone outside send the papers, fill them out and then have the person file for you. The prison chaplain is often able to aid an inmate in solving domestic issues such as divorce.

Is a Mexican divorce valid in the state of California?
Divorces obtained in other countries will generally be recognized by the United States as long as no person's rights were violated. This means that contested divorces may not be allowed unless the defendant spouse was notified and had a chance to respond. Uncontested divorces are generally recognized, however, and are often very easy to obtain.
