A divorce begins when either spouse files a divorce petition. Spouses can speed up the process by making their divorce uncontestedmeaning both spouses agree to all of the terms in the petition.
Why would someone drag out a divorce?
Someone may be delaying the divorce and dragging it out as being a form of punishment or payback to their ex, to benefit financially, to attempt to financially drain the other party, to delay ending a marriage, or some other agenda.
What happens after a divorce petition is filed?
After a divorce/dissolution petition is filed with the court, the petitioner (usually through his or her lawyer) makes sure that the petition is “served” (legally delivered) on the other spouse. He or she must respond to (“answer”) the petition within a certain time (usually about three weeks).
