Testimonials

"I woke up to a phone call from my ex spouse's attorney. I was told that I had to appear in court the following day because they were going to kick me out of my home. I found Paul online and he was able to appear in court with me the following day. It was very assuring to know that I did not have to leave my house and that my spouse was responsible for sharing the expenses in paying for our house. Thanks Paul"

The Dissolution/Paternity 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.

The general paternity process is similar to the dissolution process in filing a Petition and Response. The parties may also enter into a Stipulation or allow the case to go by way of Default. There is no Declaration of Disclosure requirement. where your content goes on the left hand side. This is where your content goes on the left hand side.
