Well the first question is does he want to do it on his own or find a lawyer. If hew wants to try to do it on his own, he should get a copy of How to Do Your Own Divorce in California, published by Nolo Press, and then make a visit to the Family Law Facilitator's office in the Kings County Superior Court. If he has lived in California for at least six months and in Kings County for at least the last four months, the Kings County Superior Court will have jurisdiction of a divorce proceeding. The biggest issue may be finding the ex-to-be, since she will have to be served no matter what.
