Legal Question in Family Law in California
filed for divorce in 2006; did all paperwork myself expect i never filed the notice to enter judgement (whatever the last form is to make divorce final) nor did i pay all the court/filing fees. QUESTION: can i pick up where i left off or do i have to start the process all over again. we are both in agreement and want the divorce finalized asap. thx

You need to find out the status of the case you filed from the court. If you didn't pay all of the filing fees, the court probably dismissed the case. If it was dismissed, you are going to have to start over and refile.
If the case is still on the docket, you should be able to continue where you left off. Did you have a fee waiver? If you paid you initial filing fees, I don't know which fees would remain unpaid.
