General Dissolution Process
The general dissolution process consists of
filing a Petition for divorce. Your spouse then
has the opportunity to file a Response.
The person filing for divorce is called the
Petitioner. The person being served with the
divorce papers is called the Respondent.
After being properly served with the papers,
the Respondent has 30 days to file a
response with the Court.
If the Respondent does not respond or the
parties are agreeable to the requests asked for
in the Petition, the parties can enter into a
Stipulation or Default Judgment.
In addition, both parties will need to complete a
Declaration of Disclosure and have it served on
the other side. |
