Divorce Process
The Petitioner will file the first pleading called the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and will serve it on the other party, the Respondent.
A process server will generally be hired who will formally serve the papers in order to satisfy the statutory requirements of due process.
The Respondent will then be required to file an Answer to the Petition.
Each party will state in their pleading the grounds for the divorce which are generally irreconcilable differences, establish jurisdiction, state the facts and request relief from the court which will generally include the granting of the divorce, property settlement, alimony, child support and perhaps resumption of a maiden name.
That is just a brief overview. Take time to look at the links to your right. We have put together a vast amount of information to help you understand the divorce and family law process. The firm's goal is to educate and inform so you can make the very best decisions for you and your family.
