I know from attorneyy’s repsonse on this forum that I must file a “complaint” for ED to preserve my rights, when I file the Do It Yourself Divorce packet. 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 getting the Divorce over with asap? And then I just take this piece of paper titled “Complaint for ED” 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”? Please help! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I dont have much money and am trying to get this done using the Do It Yourself Forms.Thank you.
