Joint Divorce Petition Non-Confirmation Cost Allocation
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAIn a joint divorce petition where one spouse subsequently failed to confirm their intent to divorce after the statutory reflection period, the court ruled that this non-confirmation, being an exercise of a right under divorce law, should not result in the defaulting spouse bearing the entire procedural costs; accordingly, the court overturned the lower court's decision that assigned all costs to the non-confirming spouse, reasoning that in such non-adversarial proceedings based on mutual petition, costs should generally be split equally between both parties, and party costs should be offset, unless other specific circumstances warrant a different allocation under procedural law.
