Do You Need Help Finishing Your Divorce (or Legal Separation or Nullity) Case?

For your convenience the Self-Help Center (SHC) can review your court file and email (preferred), mail or call you with your next steps to finish your divorce, legal separation, or nullity case. Fill out the Divorce Case Review Online Request Form below to ask the SHC to review your case.

Do I need to do anything before asking for a case review?

Where do I turn this case review request in?

What happens next?

After receiving your online request Self-Help Center staff will review your court file as quickly as we can. We will then email about your next steps.

What if I want to talk to someone at the Self-Help Center today about my divorce?

Please submit the online request and we will contact you.

What if I have a lawyer but want to finish the case myself?

Before the Self-Help Center can help you must officially remove your attorney from your case. To do this, you and the attorney must sign and file a form called a Substitution of Attorney (form MC-050) or otherwise have them removed from your case. If you have not done this yet, please contact your attorney.

Our goal is to review your case within one week. However, it may sometimes take longer.
