This divorce case is too complicated for you to handle by yourself. If you have lived in CA for last six months, you can file in CA, in your local county courthouse, you can get the family law forms online. You will need to have your wife served professionally, about $100 to $150. You will need several courtdates, you will ask for custody, legal and physical. If you hired an attorney, the retainer will be several thousand dollars, at anywhere from $100 to $400 per hour.
