Divorce Documents

ABBA has a song "And vinner takes the all" the crucial part of which is the necessity for a woman to accept handshaking with her former husband. The signing some documents implies the handshaking. (Can be signing without handshaking but not handshaking without the signing.)

Check with the Clerk of Court in the Parish where your boyfriend got married. Divorce records are public records and as long as you know his full name and at least part of her name, you would be able to find out. I have done this and cannot access records

It depends on your process server. Once you give the papers to the county sheriff or a process server to be served, they will have to locate your wife and serve her the papers.

Contact your process server to see if your papers have been served. If you are representing yourself, you can serve the papers to her personally, as long as the original paperwork has been filed with the local county court. If you are represented by counsel, I suggest you ask the attorney representing your interests.

File a motion of default in the court where the original divorce petition was filed. The spouse will be notified of the action. If the spouse fails to respond, the divorce will be granted and he or she will forfeit the right to oppose the terms contained in the original petition.

In every state both parties have to sign for a divorce. Sometimes a judge will decide in favor of a divorce for one party without the other parties signature.

Some offices have a requirement to see the certified copy of the divorce decree if the divorce occurred within a certain period of time, for instance 6 months. Some want to see the decree even up to 1 year. If you have them, carry them. Be prepared.

in ca how soon can you remarry after getting a divorce

If your spouse was served PROPERLY with paperwork and they do not sign or respond by the deadline, you will automatically get the terms u asked for in the divorce.

They are presented in different methods depending upon the type of litigation and the state laws in which it is occurring. In general a summons relating to a civil suit by creditors or other like matters is served on the named defendant(s) or the residence or workplace of the defendant(s) by an officer of the court or a licensed process server. In some cases such notification can be done by certified mail. Please note, several US states do not require the named defendant(s) to be physically served with a civil summons (criminal cases do require such action) but, only that a "reasonable attempt to notify" is made. In other words, trying to avoid service of a valid court summons will not end a civil lawsuit or in most instances even delay it.

When you initiate any lawsuit, the first thing you do is file a Complaint or Petition. This is a document outlining what you want and why you are legally entitled to it. (In a divorce, you sue the other person for dissolution of marriage.) This document is filed with the clerk of court, and is called a case. This process is commonly referred to as filing for divorce.

Once your Complaint is filed, you must then give the defendant formal legal notice of the pending lawsuit. This is done by "service of process," meaning you serve them. Different states have different rules for how a Complaint may be serve, but it typically involves having the sheriff or another authorized person physically place the documents in the Defendant's hands.

Once a person has been served, they have a certain period of time (20-30 days, depending on jurisdiction) to file an Answer, or a formal document responding to the Complaint. The Answer must be filed with the court, and also sent to the Plaintiff or Plaintiff's attorney by mail or hand delivery. If your serving for divorce you have the court documents (papers) showing you have filed for the divorce with the courts. Filing for a divorce is the first step in the divorce process. The spouse then has to be served for the divorce proceedings to begin.

When divorce papers are served they are officially given to the spouse and the court is made aware that the spouse is officially aware of the divorce.

It is merely a photocopy of a will certified by a probate lawyer. A certified copy of a will is a photocopy of that the court which admitted it to probate certifies it as the last will and testament of the decedent and that it has been admitted to probate and is therefore effective as the last will.

File a dissolution of marriage (divorce) petition in domestic court in the county in which you reside. If you do not wish to use an attorney or a legal representative, contact the office of the court clerk for specific information about forms and filing fees.

In this state, at least, your spouse must file for divorce in the county of residence. All court documents with only a few exceptions (children, sealed incitements) are public record. If a petition for a divorce has been filed, it will be on record.

at the court of jurisdiction, or the state

Whatever state where you are 1) currently a legal resident or 2) where you USED to live, IF you still can get jurisdiction in that state. Call and ask an attorney from the previous state if jurisdiction is still possible, based on your specific circumstances.

If you serve your spouse and he/she refuses to sign after a certain amount of time (based on state), usually 30 days. You can usually go to your court hearing with proof that you've served your spouse and he/she has not responded within 30 days. They may have defaulted (failed to respond) on the divorce which means you win your divorce by default.

A spouse can refuse to sign the divorce papers for as long as they wish but that does not mean that they wont get divorced. The court simply will not keep a party to a marriage in the marriage arrangement if they do not want to be in it anymore. What happens in these circumstances is that you must attempt to serve the other party (sounds like you have done that) and proceed as if they did and a default divorce judgment will be entered and you will be divorced.

then your not divorced

Or you should talk to your spouse about it if you guys really want to divorce or not. If the spouse does not want to accept the divorce papers,that spouse still cares for you. Then you should talk about getting back or settle things and talk to him/her about the divorce papers. If you do not care for your spouse then talk to that spouse gently and maturely about it

If you are sure about the divorce but your spouse refuses to sign talk to a lawyer. in almost every state (if not every state) there is a way to get a divorce anyway it usually involves setting up a hearing. then they try to serve him/her the papers for the hearing if he/she does not respond within a certain period of time then the divorce is granted otherwise you might have a legal battle on your hands. However i believe in California it is not required to have your spouse sign the papers (do some research though to be sure) if that is true you might be able to go file for your divorce there however i still recommend talking to a lawyer about possible options where you live since its easier.

to have a divorce the people that are married need to be together atleast a year. after that year they can file for divorce and have to stay apart without any affairs in till the judge has finalized the statement.

Forgiveness is more likely if you are not violating any divorce decree or court orders. It may be easier to do so before the divorce happens, so that you are not bound by a 100 mile ruling. Once you are there, you can divorce and stay where you are working.

Go to the Clerk of the District Court in the county where your divorce papers were filed and get a copy.

At your nearest court house or city offices. Maybe even the county department or ,if you have one, the nearest state department.

There are some places that will grant you a one signature divorce. It depends a lot on your circumstances. It may be handled differently if it is abandonment, or if it is contested. Either way, in many locations, it is still possible. It is best to seek legal advice in the area in which you reside.
