It is just a simple petition! Many people still think so! But under practical circumstances, it is not easy to understand how to write such a petition correctly. This is especially true for writing a petition with unstable mood under “Divorce” experience. We will help you overcome this obstacle. Let’s review the latest instructions on preparing a divorce petition and divorce petition form in 2022.
Divorce is unexpected by anyone, but it is inevitable under many situations and cases. If you are thinking of ending your marriage, you also need to equip yourself with the basic knowledge to carry out relevant formalities.
The basic divorce process includes the following steps:
Step 1: Prepare the petition and submit it to the competent district/provincial People’s Court.
Step 2: After submitting the petition, the Court will examine case files and issue a notice of advance payment of the court’s fee. This takes 07-14 working days.
Step 3: Deposit the advance payment of court’s fee at the competent civil judgment enforcement branch (district-level)/civil judgment enforcement department (province-level).
Step 4: Submit the receipt of advance payment to the receiving officer at the Court.
Step 5: In the next 18 working days, the Court will commence a mediation session.
Step 6: In the next 07 working days upon failure of mediation, the Court will issue a Decision on acknowledgment of divorce if no party has any further opinion.
There are two types of divorce. Depending on selected type, there will be different ways to handle divorce cases.
Because the nature of these two types is completely different, divorce petition form for each type is also different: Divorce petition forms for unilateral divorce and divorce by mutual consent.
