Step One: Notice to Defend, Complaint, and Verification (Form 1)
To initiate a divorce in Pennsylvania, you must file a “Complaint,” accompanied by two essential forms:
- Notice to Defend and Claim Rights, which is placed on top of the Complaint.
- Verification, attached to the bottom of the Complaint.
The Complaint, along with these attachments, is submitted to the appropriate office for legal filings. At the time of filing, a fee must be paid unless you qualify for In Forma Pauperis, which waives the filing fee. If applicable, the request for In Forma Pauperis is submitted alongside your Complaint.
The top of the Complaint form, known as the caption, includes critical details such as the county name, your name, your spouse’s name, and the docket number assigned by the filing office. This caption must remain consistent on all documents filed in connection with the case, regardless of who submits them.
