What Is a Petition for a Divorce?

Some say that they have fallen out of love for each other, or the relationship that they have just isn’t working out the way it should be. In these situations, couples often file a petition for a divorce. A petition for a divorce is written by one party and then served to the other party. It doesn’t matter if it is the wife or husband. Also, even if both the wife and husband agree to get a divorce, one of them still needs to have it written and filed in court. Once this petition is signed by both parties, it is then filed to a state court where one of the couples reside. Filing it to the state where the marriage took place is not necessary. The grounds for getting a divorce should also be clearly stated in this petition. Other important information include the name of the husband and wife, their children if they have any, their property, child custody, child and spouse support, and many more.

What Is a Formal Petition?

A formal petition is one that is written for legal purposes. It is presented or filed to court to ask for a specific action to be done for it. A business petition and a petition for a divorce, which is explained above, are examples of a formal petition. Formal petitions should follow petition format. Other formal examples of formal petitions are:

• Peace and protective petitions are filed to court in order to prevent a person from getting harmed from an act that is committed by another person.
• Support petitions require the parents who are already separated to provide support to their children. This is usually filed by the parent who has custody of the children.
• Bankruptcy is a petition that is filed in court by the debtor and this stops the creditor from getting collections from the debtor.
• Emergency guardianship is a petition filed if there is an immediate threat to a person’s life or health.

Tips and Guidelines for Petitions

We have prepared tips and Petition Guide for you to be able to write an effective petition.

• The purpose or intention of your petition should be written clearly and concisely. It should be easily read and understood by all or a lot of people.
• Use simple terms and words. Avoid jargon and ambiguous words so that your prospective signers and petition signers won’t get confused.
• Make your introduction short. People are just scared of large blocks of paragraphs, what more if it is a bunch of them. Making short and meaningful sentences will do the trick.
• Social media and emails are powerful petition promoting tools. You can reach countless number of people by emailing or posting on social media.
• Do not stray away from your petition or its purpose.
• Explain why the petition is important and why acting now is necessary. Many people think that although petitions are important, they are just plain petitions. Try to change the way they think about petitions.
• Finally, spell-check and proofread always. Not just with your petition, but with every writing that you make.
