One spouse files a divorce petition with the court, stating the grounds for divorce and desired outcomes. The other spouse is then served with the petition and has a timeframe to respond by contesting or agreeing to the terms. If the spouses cannot reach an agreement through negotiations and exchanging financial information, they may participate in mediation with a neutral party to find a resolution or have unresolved issues decided by a judge in court proceedings, after which the divorce settlement is finalized to end the marriage.

Filing the Petition
Serving the Spouse:
Both spouses exchange
financial information, assets,
and liabilities through a
process called discovery.
Discovery and Negotiation:
Mediation or Court Proceedings:
If the spouses cannot reach an
agreement through negotiation,
they may opt for mediation,
where a neutral third party
assists in finding a resolution. If
mediation fails, the case
proceeds to court, where a judge
decides on unresolved issues.
Finalizing the Divorce:
Once all issues are resolved, either
through negotiation, mediation, or
court proceedings, the divorce
settlement is documented in a final
agreement. The court reviews and
approves the agreement, officially
ending the marriage.
