Initial Filing Process
Either spouse can commence a divorce by filing the
appropriate documents with the county court.
The Plaintiff (spouse starting the divorce) must file a Complaint for
Divorce along with a Summons. After filing the appropriate starting documents
the Plaintiff must serve his/her spouse now referred to as the Defendant. The
service is typically completed by a process server, sheriff or by publication
(if you cannot locate your spouse). Once served, the Defendant will need to
file a response called an Answer in order to prevent the Plaintiff from
proceeding with a default judgment.
