Best Answer

If there is no disagreement between the husband and wife you can file jointly. It would save money and time to do that.

Added:

Technically, there has to be a plaintiff and a defendant in all law suits. Many divorces are uncontested, however, one party or the other must be the party to actually file the divorce. In uncontested matters, this can be done pretty quickly by one party filing the paperwork, allowing the other party to sign a waiver of service, then agreeing to the terms of divorce, signing it and having one party prove the divorce up in court (I don't think all states require a court appearance for an agreed divorce, however Texas does).
