Q: The clerk’s office may be able to confirm that you have all of the right forms or documents and answer many questions that you may have about the process. However, the clerk’s office cannot give you legal information. Some states or counties have websites with links to the forms you need to file for divorce. Some clerk’s offices have forms that you can pick up in person, or that they will provide to you by mail. These form already have the legal language in place with spaces where you can fill in details for yourself and your spouse. Every state requires specific forms, and some states may require forms that other states do not. The most commonly required forms include:  Petition for Divorce – This document requests that the court grant you a divorce. Summons - This form directs a police officer or sheriff’s deputy to contact your spouse and let him or her know that you are filing for divorce and that he or she has the right to respond.  Financial Affidavit - You and your spouse are each required to fully disclose your respective financial situations on this form. Notice of Hearing - This form is filed to allow the court sets a date for your court hearing. Settlement Agreement – This form can be filed with the court if you and your spouse agree on all issues related to the divorce. Divorce Decree – This form is the document that the judge will sign to formally grant your divorce. This is the first step to formally placing your divorce petition on file with the court. The clerk’s office will require you to file a certain number of copies of the documents, along with the original documents. Check with your clerk’s office beforehand in order to determine how many copies are necessary. Many states require that you be a resident of the state and/or county for a certain period of time before being eligible to file for divorce. Check with your clerk’s office about your state’s eligibility requirements, or look them up online. All courts charge a filing fee to file for divorce, which varies widely from one state and even from one court to the next. In most jurisdictions, the filing fee ranges from $100.00 to $300.00. If you cannot afford to pay the court’s filing fee, you may be able to ask the court to waive the normal filing fee. In many states, if you qualify for public assistance or your income is below the federal poverty guidelines, you can file in forma pauperis (IFP) or fee waiver request forms with the clerk’s office. These forms request the court to waive the normal filing fee. The court may or may not grant your request, depending on your local court practices and your individual circumstances. Whenever you turn in a completed form, always keep a copy that has been file-stamped by the clerk’s office for your own records. That way you have proof that you submitted the document, and a back-up copy in case the original gets lost somehow. In addition to keeping copies of everything, make sure you file and store your paperwork in a safe place. You'll want to include things like receipts for fees paid, all signed documents, and explanatory information given to you by the clerk’s office.
A: Visit the court clerk’s office in the county in which you live. Obtain the forms necessary to file for divorce. File the necessary forms with the clerk’s office. Pay the court’s filing fee. Always keep copies of all documents. Stay organized.

Q: Use a sharp knife to shave the beef into very thin slices. Cut the onion and shiitake mushrooms into moderately thin slices, as well.  To save yourself time and effort, ask the butcher to slice the beef very thinly before packaging it. If the butcher does not slice the beef, freeze it for 1 hour before slicing it yourself. Partially frozen meat is easier to cut than fully thawed meat. The slices of beef should be just a little thicker than cold cut lunchmeat is. This thinness is key. Beef that is too thick will not cook quickly enough. The slices of onion and mushroom should both be approximately 1/3 inch (1 cm) thick. Place the butter in a medium saucepan and set it on the stove. Heat over medium for a few minutes, just until the butter is completely melted. Add the sliced onions and sliced shiitake mushrooms to the melted butter. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes. The onion should become translucent and the shiitake mushrooms should feel notably tender. Add both alcohols to the saucepan. Cook for another 2 minutes. During this time, most of the actual alcohol should burn away, leaving only the flavor behind. Add the water, Dashi powder, soy sauce, sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the contents of the saucepan. Stir to combine. Allow the contents of the pan to reach a steady simmer before continuing. Place the thin slices of raw beef in the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 3 to 5 minutes.  Use cooking chopsticks or tongs to carefully separate the beef slices as they cook. Doing so can help prevent the beef from sticking together. This may seem like an abnormally short cooking time, but if the beef has been sliced to an adequately thin size, it should be plenty. Do not overcook the beef since it can easily become dry. Fill two serving bowls with freshly steamed white rice. Divide the gyudon evenly and spread it over the rice in both bowls. For an even more authentic experience, prepare Asian-style sticky rice or sushi rice instead of relying on instant rice. Top each serving of gyudon with an organic raw egg. Crack the egg directly over the beef, allowing the yolk to remain intact in the center of the bowl when you serve the dish.  Please exercise caution when consuming raw eggs. Organic eggs from a clean, reliable source might be safe to eat, but the USDA discourages the consumption of raw eggs altogether due to the risk of salmonella. If you feel squeamish about consuming raw eggs, you may skip this step. If you do opt to include the raw egg, mix it into the beef and rice as you eat the gyudon. Doing so can give the taste of the dish a rich, creamy undertone. Gyudon is frequently topped with a bit of shichimi togarashi and beni shoga. Pair it with sides like miso soup and steamed vegetables. A combination of broccoli, cauliflower, and sliced carrots will pair especially well with this dish, but you can serve it with any vegetables you prefer. Consider steaming the vegetables for a few minutes, allowing them to become tender-crisp without turning into mush.
A:
Slice the beef and vegetables. Melt the butter. Sauté the onion and shiitake mushrooms. Mix in the sake and mirin. Stir in the water and remaining seasonings. Add the beef and simmer gently. Serve over rice. Top with the egg. Add any other desired accompaniments.
