How to file for divorce?
My husband and I basically do not have anything. We are a young couple that did not workout. We just want to get the divorce and we do not know what to do. I have recently recieved my greencard and in case I change my name I will need a new greencard. I am concern that can affect my situation. How is the decree? Do we state the name change and do I have to change my name right away or have time?

I suggets that you and your spouse go down to the county court house and speak with the court clerk about a marital dissolution packet for both of you to fill out, date, sign and file with respect to this seemingly uncontested dissolution. Most courts have such packets to assist people in your situation as well as clinics for marital dissolutions where questions can be asked and answered.
In the form, ask that your name be changed to what you want it to be.
