In Michigan you file in the circuit court of the county where you live..if you cannot do the necessary research to determine where and how you file it will be significantly better if you hire an attorney.

You file for divorce in the office of the Clerk of Superior Court for the county where you or the other party reside. The Clerk's office is located in the County Courthouse. If there is a special procedure that they want you to follow for your specific County, the Clerk should be able to point you in the right direction.

That depends. Meet with the Family Law Facilitator or pay an attorney for the information.

In Wisconsin, you file the summons and petition with the clerk of the Circuit Court. There is usually one circuit court per county. It's really a good idea to retain a skilled Family law attorney when important matters require someone familiar with the courts and the law.

Your divorce will be filed in the Circuit Court for the county in which you reside, or where you're about to be ex spouse resides. Divorce is a life changer, and I would be remiss not to tell you that it is not a wise maneuver to attempt to do this on your own.

Look at the Supreme Court self help web site for Nebraska. Most people file at the district court clerk desk of the county where they live.

You file the paperwork with the Court Clerk in the Courthouse located within your County. You might want to check with the Family court not far from where you live and ask them the question.

You need to file your paperwork at the main courthouse in the county where you last resided together as Husband and Wife. If you are not certain, google the Clerk of Court for that county and talk to someone in the domestic relations division.
