How Do I File For Divorce?

For most people, divorce is a huge life step, one that they may know very little about. If you and your spouse are considering getting a divorce, you probably have a lot of questions running through your head: what will we do about the kids? Who gets the house? What happens to our joint investments? But perhaps the most practically important question you'll be facing early on is: how do I even go about filing for a divorce? You hear about it all the time, but you may not know what exactly goes into it.
