To officially start the divorce process, a person initiating the divorce should submit the original petition and other documents to the court. There are several courthouses where to file for divorce in San Diego, and the one that will handle your case will depend on your address. Therefore, it is recommended to check the petitioner’s zip code in advance to choose the necessary San Diego divorce court. If one goes to the wrong courthouse, their documents will not be accepted, resulting in the loss of time.
