Filing divorce on mutual basis with no disputes but she is in India and doesn't want to travel

Answered by attorney Gina M. Famularo
Divorce lawyer at Family Law Matters
Hello,   So long as one of you are a resident of the state of California and you both agree on the terms of the divorce, it can be completed in California. You should think about hiring a paralegal to complete the paperwork if you cannot afford an attorney to avoid any snags in the process. A paralegal is a document preparer. He or she cannot give legal advice, but can assist in the divorce process by preparing and filing all paperwork for you.
