Dear Consumer, You might try filing again in a neighboring county. There is no requirement to file for divorce in the county where you reside. You also may want to use the regular petition for dissolution instead of the simplified dissolution because that way only the petitioner would need to appear in court.
From what you wrote, it sounds like you should be entitled to a waiver for your filing fees, but I may not be aware of everything.
I also may be able to refer you to a non-profit lender who offers easy access loans. Please call, 800-515-0496 for more information.
