    Question: 

    I filed for a divorce and my husband went and filed somewhere else - he promised to pay for the index # - I paid the lawyers what should I do?

    State: 
    New York
    Answer: 

    Somehow you have gotten your signals mixed up if you have "lawyers" (plural) and both of you have filed for a divorce already. One of the divorce actions will have to be canceled obviously, you can't get divorced from the same person twice (unless you marry them again). Your lawyers should be on top of this, notify both of them as soon as possible. - The Divorce.com Team
