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"

The first step in filing for a divorce is for one party (petitioner) to demonstrate a desire to end the marriage. It will also be necessary for the individual to state the reason(s) why they are seeking the divorce.

Procedure of filing a domestic violence case

As per the domestic violence act, any aggrieved woman or any witness to the alleged violence can approach the nearest Police Station, Protection Officer and a Service Provider (organisation committed to the rights of women). The protection officer as described under the act is a special post created to serve as an intermediate between the victims of domestic violence and the legal system. One can also approach the Magistrate directly for obtaining relief. The woman has the right to make an application obtaining relief in the form of protection order, monetary relief, custody order, residence order, compensation order.

Divorce is the legal process of the dissolution of a legal marriage. Once the divorce is final the parties are no longer legally bound to one another and are free to remarry.
