Step 2: File the Application for Divorce
Your lawyer will prepare and file the Application for divorce with the court. The other party will be served and given time to respond to the filing. You will then have a chance to provide a Reply to this Response. These are called Pleadings. Typically, once the pleadings are filed, a First Appearance date is scheduled by the Court. At this appearance date, barring any specific issues or circumstances of the case, an initial Case Conference date would then be scheduled.
