What is the divorce procedure?
I. Prosecution
The prosecution of divorce cases means that one party to a marriage relationship requests the people's court to dissolve the marriage relationship with the other party according to law. One party who sues is the plaintiff, and the other party who is sued is the defendant. After the litigation begins, the parties shall enjoy litigation rights and undertake litigation obligations according to law.
Second, the trial
Trial refers to the sum of all the investigation work done by the people's court after receiving the prosecution and before making a judgment. According to the provisions of China's civil procedure law, the trial is divided into three stages: pre-trial preparation, mediation and trial.
Third, the verdict
According to the trial, mediation should be conducted again. If mediation fails, a verdict will be pronounced immediately. The people's court shall pronounce a verdict in public. If a verdict is pronounced in court, it shall be served within ten days; If the sentence is pronounced regularly, the judgment will be issued immediately after the sentence is pronounced.
The first instance procedure of divorce case has ended. If one party refuses to accept the judgment, he can bring a second-instance lawsuit to a higher court.
