Frequently asked
A Joint Petition for Divorce is a legal filing made by both spouses who mutually agree to end their marriage. It allows them to jointly request that the court issue a Final Judgment of Divorce without a contested trial.

File this petition when both parties have reached a complete settlement on all marital issues, meet state residency requirements, and wish to proceed with an uncontested divorce. It’s typically used when the separation is amicable.
