What is the process to file for divorce in my state?
assistant
The process for filing for divorce in your state will depend on the laws of the state. Generally, the process begins with one spouse filing a petition for divorce with the court. This petition will state the reasons for the divorce, as well as other relevant information such as the division of assets and arrangements for the custody of children, if applicable. After filing the petition, the other spouse must be properly served with the paperwork. Once service is complete, both parties must appear before the court at a hearing. After the hearing, the court will make a ruling on the petition, officially dissolving the marriage.
