FAQ
Once the divorce papers have been served in compliance with the notice and service requirements of the state, the person who is served is then tasked with filing an answer. An answer is essentially what it sounds like: a chance for the respondent to begin to explain their side of the story and ask for legal relief.
Judgment-Dissolution: If the judgment has a marital termination date, you are divorced. Judgment-Legal Separation: You are still married. If you do not wish to remain married, you must file a Petition for Dissolution (Divorce) to begin the process of divorcing your spouse.
You answer the divorce petition to let the court know your position in the divorce case.If you don't answer the divorce petition and you don't go to a hearing, it's still possible that the judge can grant the divorce. If that happens, the judge also can make other decisions in the divorce.
Mail or physically take your written response to the clerk of courts in the county where your spouse filed the initial divorce petition. Check your state's and county's requirements, as you may need to file additional forms such as a financial disclosure form when you file your written response.
Because there is no longer a mandatory waiting period in Oregon, it is possible to end your marriage within days of filing. In a traditional divorce, if your spouse doesn't submit an acceptance of service, you'll have to wait up to 30 days for your spouse to answer your petition.
Your spouse is supposed to mail a copy to you. You can also check with the Family Court Central Intake Center after the 21 days are up to see whether your spouse has filed an Answer. You can check in person or you can call (202-879-1212). You can also go to the Family Court Self-Help Center and ask them to check.
Proof of Personal Service (Form FL-330): This form confirms that the response to divorce petition was filed with the court and served on the other spouse. Alternatively, the respondent can also serve them by mail, in which case they will need to complete and file the form for Proof of Service by Mail (FL-335).
Judgment of divorce is a formal written document. This document states that a man and a woman are divorced. A judgment of divorce is prepared by an attorney and presented to the court for the Judge to affix his/her sign. This is recognized in some states and provinces as a Divorce Decree or Decree of Dissolution.
While a regular dissolution is the same thing as a divorce, a summary dissolution is a shortened version of the process. Couples who qualify for a summary dissolution are not required to fill out as much paperwork, and they do not need to appear in court for a trial.
