Why would people go to court for a divorce?
Is that a murrican thing?
You have to file for the divorce. And the place you file is the courthouse.
If it is a no contest type of divorce, generally, you still go to a hearing to just confirm to the judge that there are irreconcilable differences between both parties and the divorce is the only thing either want. No contest is also good if there are zero marital assets and zero children, or if there are zero assets and there is already a court-ordered custody agreement between the parties. Both parties can keep attorneys out of it by paying the filing fee and nothing more.
If it's messy, get a lawyer and get ready to pay out the ass for your freedom.
