I suggest that you seek out a qualified paralegal assistant to assist you with the forms, or go the Family Law Facilitators Office where they will fill out the forms for free.

We provide paralegal services to self represented parties. You will find some valuable information on various family law issues at my web site.

Good luck to you!

Re: divorce forms

You will have to file a petition for dissolution of marriage. Then you will have to personally serve him with the petition and a summons. He can be served by certified or registered mail, if he signs for the letter. Contact his family and ask if they can either give you his telephone number or have him call you. He may be able to get the divorce completed faster than you can. The earliest that the marriage can be disolved in California is 6 months after he is served with the summons and complaint.
