How Do You File For Divorce?
The first step to filing for divorce is to file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with your local court. There will be a small court filing fee. The papers are served to your spouse, and they are given 20-30 days to respond. Your next steps will depend on what their response is, or if they even do respond to the petition. Having an attorney on your side will ensure the proper steps are taken to ensure an efficient process.
