1. Divorce Process: Step-by-Step Legal Guidance
Step 1: Divorce Petition
One spouse files the initial petition. This document outlines the requested terms for property division.
Step 2: Temporary Orders
Courts may issue temporary orders for child support, custody, or exclusive use of the home to maintain stability during the legal process.
Step 3: Discovery
Both sides collect financial and factual evidence through interrogatories, document requests, and depositions to prepare for negotiation or trial.
Step 4: Settlement Negotiation
Many cases settle before trial. A fair settlement allows parties to avoid trial costs and anxiety while retaining more control over the outcome.
Step 5: Divorce Trial
If no settlement is reached, the case proceeds to trial. Each side presents evidence and testimony, and the judge makes the final decision.
Step 6: Post-Divorce Considerations
Following the decree, you may need to address enforcement, modification, or appeals regarding custody, support, or property.
