What do the words "Petitioner" and
"Respondent" mean?
In any legal case, the people involved are referred to by
words that describe their role in the case. In a divorce case, the person who
starts the court case by filing the Petition is called the
"Petitioner." The other spouse is called the "Respondent"
because that spouse can file a paper answering the Petition that is called a
"Response."
