    Question: 

    How can I file for a divorce when I'm staying with my In-laws and nowhere else to go at this point?

    State: 
    Florida
    Answer: 

    If you are a legal resident of Florida, have no kids, are not pregnant and can agree with your spouse on the terms of the divorce - you can get the papers for a Florida "simplified" divorce at home using an online legal forms service. If agreement with your spouse is impossible you will have to file for a more complicated procedure (contested) but it is still possible to gather to the forms via mail or internet download. You will have to go to the court house to file the papers though. This can all be done from where you live now in Florida as long as you have been in the state for 6 months. - The Divorce.com Team
