defendant
who is a defendent in a divorce case
Re: defendant
No one. The person who files the suit is the Petitioner and the person who receives the suit is the respondent.
A divorce is not going to be dismissed in favor of a respondent, the way a lawsuit can be resolved in favor of the defendant.
It takes two people to get married, but only one person to decide to end the marriage.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
