Divorce
The divorce is the legal ending of a marriage. Divorcing refers to limited aspects: to get a judgment of divorce and to make arrangements for distribution of property, child custody and spousal support, in some cases. A divorce starts with a petition (complaint) made by spouse (petitioner) and ends with an order for divorce called judgment. The petition is a standard document for divorce that shows the facts and issues and what the petitioner wants. After being filed with the court, it is served on the other spouse to give notice that the divorce case has started. Then the other spouse (respondent) can file a response, if necessary, but within a stated time (30 days after the petition is served). If a response is filed, the divorce case is “contested” and if there is no response, the case is “uncontested”. The uncontested divorce is relatively simple: it consists in paperwork and red tape to judgment. Some couples might need working out a written marital settlement agreement. A petitioner’s appearance in court might be required, although many states have procedures that don’t require hearing. Contested divorce has many complicated steps, the presence of a lawyer being very helpful and efficient in saving time and emotional stress. A contested divorce can become uncontested if one spouse simply drops out of the contest or if the spouses reach an agreement. About 95% of all divorce cases are able to reach agreement and settle without the need to go to trial. Collaborative divorce involves two clients and two attorneys who work together to reach a settlement with best possible result for both parties after negotiations of financial issues and custody. The law is used to impose a decision only when there is a disagreement brought into court. When children are involved, the judge might take a look at the terms to make sure they are well supported and protected.
