What is the name of your state? California

We separated 6 years ago. Have no children. No property to divide. Let’s say we agree on how to settle debts and retirement funds. We have been married for 8 years prior to the separation of which we spent only five together.

Is there any way to get a divorce in less than six months in California and without going to court?

Or should I head for Nevada or Guam...:)

Suggestions?

You've been married 14 years. "Head" for your paycheck before she gets there first.

Do it yourself if he will sign.

Here is the divorce you want. You can actually check with your court house and see if you can fill out the forms yourself. I was able to feel out a friends divorce for her. The key is to getting him to sign the documents. You file the documents at the court house and it's signed off on and you both get a copy in the mail. The divorce cost $90.



Mediated Divorce
Mediation is growing in popularity for divorce because it puts the couple in charge of the negotiation and how property is distributed. With the help of a neutral professional, the couple can discuss and negotiate the issues to reach a result that both parties are comfortable with. If mediation doesn't work, they can move forward with the traditional, litigated case and let a judge decide.

The couple doesn't avoid court completely with mediation, however. The agreement still has to be approved, forms completed and the divorce finalized through a court process. But, they avoid having their dirty laundry aired in public and they don't have to call friends and family to testify at a trial
