Does it matter who should file first? Everyone said that if I file first, it looks like he is at fault, and if he files first then I am at fault. Does it matter? Should I file first? I am the wife. – Talk

Answer:

Talk: It usually doesn’t matter who files first. If your spouse files first, you can file a counterclaim. Pleadings contain allegations. The judge looks at proof. That is an important distinction to learn and understand.
