Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

Out of State Divorce

I moved to Louisiana in May, 2006. Before moving here, I was separated from my estranged husband. We have been separated since February 6, 2005. I am wondering where I would file for divorce, North Carolina or Louisiana. He still resides in NC. I'm also wondering about how much it would cost? I have looked into a do it yourself form, but was wondering about how much that would cost as well to file the form. Any advise, would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Out of State Divorce

Since you're the one doing the filing, you should file it in Louisiana. I do not know if they have "do it yourself" simple divorces there, but you can call your local court's clerk's office to find out.
