How to Start Your Divorce LITERALLY
We are often asked how the divorce process starts...what literally happens? The following is a step-by-step outline. The divorce process starts when you or your lawyer files what is officially known as a Summons and Petition for divorce with the appropriate court in your chosen jurisdiction. That makes you the petitioner or plaintiff in the process. This document includes the following information:
- Your name
- The name of your spouse
- Your children/children's name/s and date/s of birth
- The date of your marriage ( or your registration of domestic partnership)
- The date of your separation (if appropriate)
Additionally an outline of your preliminary requests are included. These requests are subject to change and negotiation:
- The custody of the kids,
- Spousal support,
- Division of the estate
- Who is responsible for paying the attorney’s fees
