It is never easy to go through a divorce procedure, but it is certainly possible to end a marriage amicably with little or no difficulty at all. However, this is often not the case.

Divorce lawyers are usually the only ones that truly win in a long drawn out divorce proceeding, which tends to be extremely overwhelming for both the parties involved psychologically and as well financially.

The longer it takes to settle a divorce case, the larger the legal fees it will be for both sides in the process.

If both parties agree during the divorce procedure, on the settlement and other issues within a reasonable amount of time, with very little or no intervention from an attorney, then the final dissolution can take place pretty quickly, before the mandated waiting period is up in many of the cases.

Firstly, when reconciliation fails and no other options remain, many questions about the divorce procedure arise that need to be answered. A divorce procedure usually starts with a divorce petition that is initiated by one spouse (ie the petitioner) and served on the other (the respondent).

The petition, which includes detail information about the marriage, is also filed with the clerk of court in the county where the petitioner resides at this time.

The facts that are disclosed in the petition pertaining to the names of the husband and wife, the date and place of marriage, names of any children resulting from the union, separate or community property held by the parties, child custody, child support, spousal support, and any other issued to be addressed regarding the dissolution of the marriage.

Proper divorce procedure mandates that the respondent spouse be given suitable notice period that the divorce petition has been filed, either by the petitioning spouse or process server.

The respondent then ordinarily has thirty-five days to answer or file a counter-claim if necessary. If both parties agree on the settlement terms, a court hearing is not required and the divorce will then be final.

A minimum waiting period (usually six months) is compulsory in most of the states, and is not waived during proper divorce procedure, even if the marriage is dissolved before this time duration has elapsed.

Remarriage is also not allowed until the waiting period is over, which starts at the date of the case filing.

Marriage issues tend to be complex and the divorce procedure itself tends to be very overwhelming for most of us.

It is important to keep fit for both physically and emotionally as it will help keep the stress levels down, and the less legal involvement, the more money in the bank when the procedure is all over.
