Receiving a divorce petition from your spouse’s lawyer can be stressful, especially if you were not expecting it. You may feel uncertain about what the documents mean or what you should do next.
Do not ignore the documents or delay seeking legal advice. There may be deadlines for responding, and taking prompt action gives your lawyer time to review the petition and advise you on your next steps.
Even if you agree to the divorce, you should carefully consider the orders your spouse is seeking concerning children, maintenance, matrimonial assets and costs.
At TEH & YU, our divorce lawyers can review the documents, explain the proposed orders and advise you on how to respond based on your circumstances.
For your initial consultation, please prepare a complete copy of the documents received and let us know when and how you received them. Include any accompanying letters or notices stating a deadline or court date.
