He lives in another state. Our son is now 14. We are in agreement with everything, just trying to figure out the fastest and easiest way to get divorced as I'm pregnant and trying to get married again.

The fastest way is to file papers right away. However, no divorce in California can happen faster than 180 days from when the other side is served with papers. I suggest you file papers right away. If you don't know where to serve him, the court has a procedure to serve him by publication in a newspaper.

You can obtain a contested divorce when both parties cooperate and either one party agrees to be in default or the parties signed an agreement and documents needed to complete the divorce action. It takes at least 6 months to obtain a divorce so you will want to file and serve the Petition without delay.
