Best Answer

Your spouse must file a Response to your application and then serve the Response on you before the hearing date. If a response has been filed both of you must attend the hearing. If a Response is filed, the Court might not grant the divorce application at the first hearing.

But if you have been separated for more than 12 months, there are usually no grounds to oppose a divorce.
