Re: want to take a Divorce?

You can file a divorce in the county you live in, as long as you've lived there 90 days or more. When you file you must petition the court for an emergency order of protection. Once granted, the judge will give you an order directing the police to go home with you to get your belongings. Please call for a free consultation.
