Understanding the Divorce Process
Whether you choose to pursue a traditional divorce assisted by a lawyer or an online divorce solution like Divorce.com, a solid understanding of the process will help you navigate your divorce with certainty and confidence.
1
File the initial petition with the court
Filing the initial petition with the proper court is the first step in any divorce proceeding. You, the petitioner (in legal terms) are informing the state that you intend to end the marriage.
2
Documentation: The Four Corners of Divorce
Documentation determines how assets and debts will be divided, as well as how spousal support and child support will be calculated. Outside of child custody and child support, there are four fundamental components that make up a divorce agreement:
Assets: What you own
Debts: What you owe
Income: What you earn
Expenses: What you spend
3
Negotiation
Once you've documented everything, you and your spouse must decide and agree to dividing the assets and debts, spousal, child support, and custody (if any).
4
File the Final Divorce Paperwork
Filing the final paperwork with the court is the last step of a divorce proceeding. Once the final paperwork is filed and accepted by the court, and the court issues its judgment, you are officially divorced.
