text: getting a divorce in california. what forms do we need to file? we've been married 6.5 years so we cannot file for summary disolution.  we are both ca residents and live in san francisco. we have no community property or debt.  we have no childeren.  no one is seeking any alamony.  we just want to a divorce and don't want to waste a bunch of money on a lawyer.  what forms do we need to file?  and where do we file them?  from what i've read it seems that the only forms we need to file are fl100, fl120 & fl170, is this correct?  also will we have to appear in court or can we just file and handle everything else by mail?  thanks in advance! go to th calbar and read: what should i know about divorce and custody? http://calbar.ca.gov/
