Questions about our divorce and separation package

Q: My husband and I have been separated since Jun 2004. We have already
divided up the property but do not have legal separation (just a
spreadsheet). We had originally spoke to lawyers, but were eventually able
to work out the property division between us. I am interested in your
divorce/separation package, as this will be an uncontested divorce (no
children are involved). Do we file our separation as well or is it only the
divorce?

A: To give legal effect to the division of property you have worked out you
should have a separation agreement.

Q: Do we pay the $448 twice or once?

A: I assume you are referring to the court filing fee. This is paid to the
court once, it is not a separate charge for each of you.

Q: Also, how do we file a divorce...do we actually have to go to court, or
do we send in the legal documents that will be prepared by your service?

A: We recommend actually going to the court office if that is possible as
there are often changes that are required to the documents which are best
explained to you in person. However, this can be done through the mail.
Remember that we will be happy to make whatever changes are required, as
often as necessary, to ensure that your documents are acceptable to the
court.
