No. When you "file" for anything, including a divorce, what you are doing is making a written complaint or petition to the court to begin the process of examining the issues and determining the rights and obligations between the involved parties, in order that the court may be able to make decisions that will eventually resolve those issues, rights and obligations. A Judgement IS the decision. In other words, FILING is asking that a decision be made. A JUDGEMENT is that decision.

Not all of these firms are the same.

In Alabama, even if one party does not want the divorce to proceed, the other party can still get the divorce granted by filing for a default judgment. Since children are involved, I would not let the divorce get to this stage. At a default judgment hearing, the party requesting will more than likely be granted most of what they request while you are left out in the cold.
Avoid filing if you can. There is no easy way out. The option of filing will still be there after the divorce if that's best for you.
No, filing for divorce in Tennessee does not automatically make you legally divorced. The divorce process must be completed, which typically includes a waiting period and final decree from the courts.
Your filing status is determined by your status at the end of the year.
When you are going through the process of divorce, it is not finalized until a judgment is approved and entered by the court. The Entry of Judgment gives you a date of divorce, and means your divorce is final. Even when the divorce is final, you can file for Modification if you meet the legal standards.
You should probably wait until the divorce is finale.
By including that in your divorce petition.
