Hi, thank you. Yes, I know that I must file a complaint for ED. My question was more specifically, HOW to file it?..do I just type up a paragraph stating that we want to settle ED later, preserving my rights to ED while filing the Divorce Forms? And then I just take this piece of paper titled “Complaint” and give it to the Clerk along with the Divorce Forms that I have filled out? I assume there is a separate cost to “file a complaint”? Thank you.
Greetings. Go to the forms portion of our website. That is the best I can tell you. I cannot advise you on “how” to file any better than I have. You must file a complaint and a complaint has specific requirements that are much more than a simple typed paragraph. Also, once you file, you will have a lot of requirements to meet for the equitable distribution to go through. Good luck - and please see an attorney.

Question on correct process for filing for Equitable Distribution in using the Do-It-Yourself forms?..I have the packet of forms from Clerk of Court, and know there is no separate form for ED. I am aware that it is recommended that WHEN my Ex and I settle ED that we have an attorney/mediation, but right now I just want to get the divorce over and done and Preserve my rights to ED, to be settled later. SO can anyone please tell me HOW to file “claim” “motion” “lawsuit”? DO I just type a paragraph stating that and take it to the Clerk and “File” along with the Divorce Forms? I know that a “claim” for ED must be on file before a divorce is granted to protect rights to ED. Please advise. Thanks!
