Whomever actually files first is considered the plaintiff and the other party is the respondent. It really doesn't matter who files first but the divorce proceedings begin from that first actual filing for you both and there is no need to finish a second filing of your own. you will both be heard, given opportunity to agree on stipulations, and if unable to, chances are a court mediator will be assigned to help mitigate a fair resolution, including childrens rights and visitation if that applies. Hope this helps.
You continue with the divorce proceeding. A spouse who refuses to sign the divorce papers can delay the proceedings by making it take longer but they cannot prevent the divorce.
You should most likely try to find out if the papers were drawn up. If not, you can begin the divorce process yourself.
You will be breaking the law if you marry before you have the completed, recorded, etc. final papers of your divorce. Also, the second marriage will not be legally recognized.
No, divorce papers are NOT void
Usually, but if the one seeking the divorce doesn't know where the other spouse is you can post your papers on the courthouse door for thirty (30) days. After the thirty days, you can continue the proceedings. It is free to post the papers, but your attorney will charge you for the correct posting.
No, you can't remarry if divorce papers are filed but not final.
