What Should I Expect During The Divorce Process In Minnesota?
Having an idea of what to expect during a divorce can provide spouses with an invaluable advantage when the process commences. The first aspect of the process spouses should be prepared for is the actual filing of the divorce petition. The spouse initiating the divorce will prepare the petition with their counsel and hire a process server to deliver the notice to the other spouse.
Next, the spouse receiving the petition will have 30 days to respond. Once the divorce petition is answered, the negotiation process will begin. During this phase, spouses can expect to endure tense and grueling discussions to determine if a settlement is within reach. If a settlement is possible, each spouse’s counsel will then identify if they can finalize an agreement without the need for mediation.
If both spouses are unwilling to find common ground, they can expect to appear in court to attend their divorce trial. The family law judge will have the final ruling once the trial begins.
