Getting
a divorce is not an easy task as it involves many complexities. In this blog,
we will discuss the process of How to do
divorce.
The
divorce process starts from filing all the necessary paperwork to
the courts, which includes submitting a writ of divorce accompanied by a
statement of claim citing the grounds under which you are seeking divorce.
Once done with that the partner who is filing a
divorce must also submit a proposal stating how any minor children of the union
will be provided for after the separation is finalized. They also need to give
a housing plan detailing how the shared home will be divided or disposed. The
respondent spouse is informed about the initiation of divorce process, once all
documents are received by the court.
The process continues with a Status Conference
scheduled by the court within six weeks from the respondent's declaration of
having no objection to the grounds. But if the respondent has objected, then
the spouses have to enter into court-mandated counselling until they reconcile
or they decide that divorce is inevitable.
The court puts an effort to save the marriage by
providing a three-month cooling-off period. Also, in order to grant a divorce,
it is important that the judge is completely convinced that the marriage is
beyond repair. After getting convinced, the judge provides a certificate of
divorce.
