Separated for over 25 years

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada

My wife and I have been separated for 27 years. She lives in Texas and I have been living in Nevada for 7 months. Would we still have to enter financial statements, even though we have not been together for over 25 years? I mean we've always wanted the divorce, but neither of us could afford it. Now I am able to get this matter done, so that we can let our current partners be our legal partners.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

If the two of you draw up a complete agreement that address all issues then it may not be necessary to submit financial statements.

However, I will tell you that an attorney can get it done quicker and easier than you can, and you might not even have to make a trip to court. Also, if there are absolutely no disagreements then the attorney would be relatively inexpensive.

Then you need a divorce by publication - which is not a DIY project.

It still can be done...but in that instance you would absolutely need an attorney, and it may not be as complicate as you imagine...not after 27 years.
