Proof of SERVICE? DIVORCE????????

I live in michigan. We are filing uncontested and doing it ourselves. Just dont know the easiest way. Because I have the Acknolegement of service paper. But she cant just sign it and me turn it in, can she? Can we just go down to the courthouse together? do we have to go get it notarized somewhere? and Im not suppose to serve her or some one else is suppose to "help", how does that work? Guess I would just love a full explaination. Especially from anyone whos been down this road.

As said before, each state is different, but probably similar enough for me to say this:
one party is to file a "petition fo dissolution of a non-covenant marriage". If both parties are in agreement, it can be signed notarized and filed with the court on the same day, both of you together, at the court house. you will both then get copies of acceptence of service, which in turn relieves you from having to have her served. If you have her sign elsewhere, you will have to do so in front of a notary public, take it back to the court, then take her a copy of the acceptance of service (possibly you will need proof that it was served, notary again or if mailed, a delivery confirmation reciept.) and the courts will have you wait a period if time (mine was 21 days), if no response by either party gets filed with the court (it shouldn't, unless one of you changes your mind) then you go back in and file a "decree of dissolution of marriage". after that is filed, they will send in the mail (only to the petitioner, you can tell the other party or not, of this date) a court date. You will go in and talk to the judge and answer a few questions, in turn the judge will sign your papers.
It is all very simple (stressful though) if neither party contests the divorce. if the respondent replies, then i suggest you get a lawyer to save assets, or if you have children in the mix.

I have been divorced twice and both times were quickly done, cuz they were uncontested.
the first time I had kids, the second time no kids involved.

good luck to you and God bless

Well not to get specific, you file a document called a Marriage Dissolution agreement. In this document, you file the actual divorce. Each state differs, but in most states one party can file the papers. I believe you do not need to serve her the divorce document. However, I believe their is a court hearing immediately after the document is signed. This means you need to hire a process server, a person who serves people documents that give a date and time to be in court. Once you or she is served, you must be in court. You can choose to be pro-say, but if you are worried about the financials of hiring a lawyer, you can hire a lawyer who does Pro bono (meaning he works for free) work in like a college law office. Again all the info. above may not be true in your state.
