I lost that, even though I shouldn't have, but I was 21 at the time and didn't know anything back then either.

Anyhow...I have a relatively easy divorce, there is no debt, no property, no new assets no nothing. I just want to file a simple Joint Uncontested Divorce. We both go on about our business and move on with life. She has already moved out, but I don't know where she lives, or her phone number. However I want to get 99% of the paperwork together, and either meet up with her and have her fill in the blanks, or have it delivered to her work and let her fill in the blanks, and then back to me where I can file with the courts and be done with it.

Does any of this make sense, or am I in for a rude awakening? I haven't make any dumb decisions like cancel health insurance on here, because I know I could be on the hook for that, but I know I want this over so in case she screws up I am no longer resposable for her actions....

Any advice, anyone know how to point me in the right direction?

We've only been married 1 1/2 years if this helps any...
Contact a local paralegal service; preferably one who has good Yelp reviews or is registered with the BBB (so that they are accountable to somebody)

Do your research, make sure they are licensed and have a good track record.

They will help you fill out the forms and file them for you; and coach you on what to say if you need to make any court appearance.

Reach out to your wife's family, have them contact her and relay your message about a proposed amicable split.

Good luck.
