writes:I have been desperately trying to get a divorce from my husband whom I haven't been with for 18 yrs now. At first I tried to have him served with the papers, but was unseccessful when he moved. He eventually had me served at my job. I thought that in 6mos. or so we would have this thing done. My Mom got sick and the Dr. gave her 6 mos., I had his sister tell him, and asked that he please resolve this before she passed. I have been with my fiance for 10 yrs, and because my family is very religious, he wasn't ever able to really bond with her. I thought that since she was dying, that my husband [ughh!] would take the neccessary steps to finalize the divorce. He didn't. Does anyone in the state of CA have any advice as to wht I could do next? I can't affod an Attorney, so that's out. HELP!

 Hmm, did you follow the link on the page I posted?

One more thought is to check with local law schools; they often have clinics provided by law students. Worth a try.
Sorry, I've got nothing else to offer.

rorowes is verified as being by the original poster of the question I would have to get an Attorney, but I can't afford one. Since he served me, it his case, and I would have to petition the courts to take it over. It's a mess.
