Do Not Use If:
- – This form is not appropriate for individuals seeking a legal separation rather than a divorce. A legal separation has different implications and may require a different set of documents.
- – If there are no children involved in the marriage, the specifics of this form may not be applicable. Couples without children may need a simpler version of the divorce petition.
- – In cases where domestic violence is present, it is crucial to seek legal assistance and possibly file for a restraining order before proceeding with a divorce. This form may not address the immediate safety concerns.
