Re: Been separated for 8 years need divorce

Since you have been in New York for a sustantial period of time, you can file for divorce here. I don't know what the LA Society is, but it sounds like they have not done anything for you.

I would suggest you contact an attorney to file "uncontested divorce" papers for you.
