Many people correctly believe that being the first party to file for divorce and serve the other party is important, but have incorrect assumptions about the reasons why it’s important. Some people believe that there is an advantage in being referred to as “the Petitioner” instead of “the Respondent” in a divorce action. In reality, there is no legal advantage in either designation, and in my experience, the only party label that judges pay attention to are Mom and Dad or Husband and Wife. It is best to retain a qualified Divorce Lawyer in Wichita KS to guide you through the process and advise you on the best way to proceed given your individual circumstances.
