Some divorces are very simple and can be handled relatively quickly. Other divorces are much more complicated and can take longer, such as when there are child custody issues or large amounts of property. Each divorce takes its own course depending on the parties involved.
The initial step is for one of the spouse’s to contact an attorney who will than draft a Petition and file it with the Court. Next, the other spouse will be served and have an opportunity to respond. The Petition will state the grounds for the divorce and the relief sought. After filing Petitions and responding, the parties engage in discovery. During this time relevant information is exchanged between the parties. At anytime during the process the parties may decide to settle the case. If no settlement can be reached, there will be a trial. A Judge must approve all Marital Settlement Agreements when parties decide to settle a case.
