Procedural Checklist

Requesting a Temporary Hearing Post Filing Without Minor Children

Below you will find the Procedural Checklist for your specific type of divorce/legal separation. The checklists were designed to be used one step at a time.  If you complete forms or other tasks out of order you are likely to create more work and confusion for yourself.  We STRONGLY suggest that you follow the checklist one step at a time-Read ahead, but do not work ahead.

The services provided by the Court Self-Help Program has been integrated into the Family Division Customer Services.   

Warning:  This checklist was designed for divorces/legal separations in which both parties agree to the terms of the divorce.  If after reviewing the Marital Settlement Agreement, it turns out that you and the other party are not in agreement with most issues, please review the website or call the Family Division to obtain other available options.
