Re: Divorce

Hello. Either party can file for divorce, but the party out of state should get a lawyer from the state where the divorce is filed to protect their rights. I would not recommend letting a lawyer represent both parties. This can cause problems, especially if one issue cannot be resolved! Then what? Will be happy to discuss this further and in more detail.
