1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the Divorce Roadmap. This will allow you to download the form and open it for editing in the required format.
2. Begin by completing the mandatory forms, which include the FL-100 Petition, FL-110 Summons, and FL-105 UCCJEA if applicable. Ensure that you check off completed items to keep track of your progress.
3. Make copies of each completed form, preparing at least two copies of every document that will be filed. The completed forms can be submitted through mail, a drop box, or in person at the Family Relations Courthouse.
4. Once your forms are submitted, the next step involves serving the forms to your spouse. Use FL-115 Proof of Service of Summons for this process, ensuring it is completed by someone 18 years or older and not involved in the case.
5. If no response has been filed by the other party, you will proceed to obtain a default judgment without a court hearing. Complete FL-165, FL-170, FL-180, and FL-190, mailing necessary copies to your spouse and filing originals with the court.
6. If a response was filed, move to contested judgment or reach an uncontested judgment by completing the necessary forms and attending the required hearings.
7. After securing judgment, ensure all post-judgment procedures are followed, including filing the FL-335 Proof of Service by Mail to send copies of the judgment to your spouse.
8. Finally, once the judgment is finalized, remember to administer important changes in your personal records and obligations, such as updating insurance and wills.
