Divorce FAQ's
- What is a Plaintiff?
The person who brings an action/case against someone else in a court of law.
- What is a Defendant?The person who an action/case is being brought against in a Court of law.
- Where do I get Divorced?In most states, you must file your Divorce at the appropriate Court in the County where you live.
- How do I know my Divorce is contested?If any issues for the children haven’t been resolved, any property that needs to be divided, or simply your spouse refuses to sign.
- How long until I'm Divorced?It really depends on how busy the Court is. A reasonable time frame can be anywhere between 3-6 months.
- Can I get Divorced without my spouse's signature?Yes! Usually, your spouse only needs to know about the Divorce. If they fail to appear or respond, you can proceed without their signature as long as you provide proof to the Court they were personally served with the documents.
- Can you get your maiden name back?Yes! You just have to request it in the Divorce.
- Do I need an Attorney to file for Divorce?It isn’t necessary to get an attorney when filing for divorce. However, complicated divorces with a lot of assets, debts and custody issues usually require the know-how of a savvy firm like ours who know how to navigate the system. If needed, we can connect you with an Attorney in our network to handle your case.
