You are in California, so it's really simple if there are no kids involved and you both agree on the property settlement.
NOLO Press has an often recommended 'do it yourself' guide that should be availabke via the local bookstore.
Just to be safe, make sure to take into account things like pensions, insurance, etc.

There are no kids involved, and she is planning to just go her own way. I just have to figure out how to get her car out of my name which we owe $12,000.00 to pay it off. We have a house, but she not claiming anything. What are the veiws of online divorce?
Get a book called "Divorce Busting" by Michelle Weiner-Davis.

I have tried my best to make this marriage work, but she has always had some kind of problem from drinking too much, chemical dependency (prescription drugs), no intimacy, and spending too much money. We have been married 7 years, but have been together 11 years. Every year it got worse.

The "Online Divorce" sounds un-necessary. I filled out a few forms, filed them along with the fees and it was over in 6 months. There were things like serving the papers and such, but the process is really simple.
If an online service is charging you, then you should be leary. A local paralegal will help if the paperwork gets too confusing, and they charge just a few bucks.

It sounds like she's desperately in need of some counseling. Have you exhausted that possibility?

Yes..She's been to a Pycho-Therapist and a regular Therapist. About a year ago she got into witchcraft.

Witchcraft? Yikes. I've got to wonder what that other guy is into also.

He is also in some form of witchcraft.

It would seem a reasonable advisement, to suggest it would likely be best that the personal information and negative descriptions be held to a bare miniumum. Discussing the "Divorce Options" expressed by the title of the thread would likely be best. Serious thought should be given to any personal matters you might consider putting into print, or turning discussion toward.

You may be able to download the forms you need from the Superior Court website in your County. I know they have a standard judicial council form and many clerks provide them for download.
After a quick check you can get what you want here: http://www.occourts.org/selfhelp/whatformsdv1.asp

The forms are available at your local stationary store. The NOLO press book is available at your local library.

It's been twenty years, so I remmber none of the details.

Legalzoom.com has forms available for "uncontested divorce." I have not used them before, but heard their forms are inexpensive and useful.
