As a noun, the document that starts divorce proceedings. The petition provides the court with certain information required by the rules and states what the petitioner is seeking, including the dissolution of the marriage, any orders (in outline only) to do with finances or children and perhaps an order requiring the respondent (the other spouse) to pay the costs of the divorce.
As a verb, to start divorce proceedings by filing a petition at the court.
Every week, usually on a Monday, I post my movements for the coming week - when I'm in the office and when I'm out, for example at court. At the same time I post a short article on a word or expression that may crop up during a separation or divorce case. Sometimes I comment on a topical legal issue.
I'm always glad of feedback - any comments on my blog entries are welcome - just send me an email.
