What is the cheapest way to get an uncontested divorce?
My husband was recently paroled from a CT state prison and is in a halfway house. I have not been in contact with him for over 6 months. I am eligible for an annulment but the process takes too long. We have no assets or children. I just want to divorce him as quickly and easily as possible.

I am so sorry for your situation and for what has resulted. I am assuming here that your husband is in agreement with your wanting to get a divorce. I say that because you use the word "uncontested" meaning that neither of you will be in disagreement with dissolving the marriage. Then I would seek help from an attorney to get the paperwork drawn up. Your husband can choose to take the paperwork to an attorney to read on his behalf and to execute an Affidavit either waiving service of the summons and complaint or accepting service of the summons and complaint and then consenting to the divorce and filing of the paperwork. It depends on your state's laws on the matter. Generally if everything is signed and filed it will not take long for the court to enter a final decree of divorce. Good luck.
