Does the person who files for divorce first have an advantage?
One of the main legal advantages that a person gains by filing the divorce petition before his or her spouse does is that the filer can request a Standing Order from the court when filing the petition. This can be important if the spouse filing divorce suspects that the other spouse will attempt to hide assets.
Should you tell your spouse you are filing for divorce?
Do I have to tell my spouse? No. Technically you can wait until your spouse is served with divorce papers, and have the papers do the telling. It may be considered bad form in most cases — except for abuse — not to have a conversation, however.
