ABSTRACT
In divorce proceedings the Petitioner makes all the running, pays the court fees (though they may claim them back from the Respondent) and does the lion’s share of the form-filling.
We hope that the divorce petition does not come to you out of a clear blue sky. In an ideal world you and your spouse will have discussed arrangements for any children in advance, and possibly even have agreed on which ‘fact’ (see p 7) to use in the petition. However, rather than take such things for granted, the guide below assumes that you have not agreed anything in advance.
