Divorce laws and procedures vary from state to state. However, many are fairly similar - but you should definitely check with an attorney who is licensed in your state to be sure. Here in Minnesota, the divorce is initiated by either party by filing a petition for divorce with the county court and serving it upon your spouse. This begins the court process, and your spouse will have 30 days to provide an "Answer and Counter Petition" to you. After these documents have been served and filed, the Court will hold a meeting to determine how the case will proceed. Generally the next step will be some form of alternate dispute resolution, such as mediation or "Early Neutral Evaluation"
