Re: Divorce

You need a lawyer for at least two reasons: 1) if you don't know what to do, you shouldn't be doing this on your own and 2) out-of-U.S. service of process is complicated.

The simple answer to your question, though, is fill out the papers, file them with the clerk with the $408 filing fee, and get a private process server to get service of the proper papers on your spouse.
