How do I amend a divorce petition UK?
If you want to amend the petition for any other reason then you will need to seek permission of the court to file an amended petition, this called asking for leave. Any amendments by way of additions in a petition need to be underlined in red and anything taken out needs to be crossed through in red.
What does it mean to amend a petition?
An amended petition should be “entire and complete in itself,” meaning that it replaces, or takes the place of, the original document. If an amended petition is successfully filed, the original document is no longer a part of the record before the court. See Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 64.
Can I change my reason for divorce?
Should it be necessary, you can change the grounds on which you have applied for a divorce by filing what is known as an amended petition. Furthermore, if the courts have not requested that an amended petition be filed, then you will also need to request their permission to submit one.
