Can i mail my dv 120 to the court clerk

In most states, you can file your Divorce Verification (DV-120) with the court clerk by mail, but it's always best to check with the specific court in your jurisdiction to confirm their procedures and requirements.

Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind:

  1. Check the court's website: Visit the website of the court where you filed your divorce petition to see if they have a section on filing documents by mail. They may have specific instructions or forms you need to complete.
  2. Use the correct mailing address: Make sure you use the correct mailing address for the court clerk's office. You can find this information on the court's website or by contacting the court directly.
  3. Use a certified mail receipt: To ensure that your document is received by the court, consider using certified mail with a return receipt requested. This will provide proof that the document was delivered to the court.
  4. Include all required documents: Make sure you include all required documents, including the completed DV-120 form, any supporting documents, and the filing fee (if applicable).
  5. Follow the court's filing instructions: The court may have specific instructions on how to file your document, such as using a specific format or including a cover sheet. Be sure to follow these instructions carefully.

Here's an example of what you might include in your mailing package:

Remember to keep a copy of the documents you're filing for your records. Once you've mailed your documents, you can wait for the court to process them and notify you of the outcome.
