How can I get my divorce finalized?
My ex filed for divorce in a different county 2 years ago. I want to know how I can go about finalizing it without hiring another attorney?

And were you served with the paperwork and did you put in an answer or waive answering and admit service? Were you served with any other paperwork after the Petiton? You need to go and check on the status of the action in the court before anyone can tell you what you need to do. You may need to make a motion of some sort to get the case moving. But for all you know the matter could have been finalized without your knowledge (if you did not answer) or "marked off" calendar for the petitioner's failure to keep it going. Without knowing the status in the court it is difficult to give guidance here. Good luck.
