Does it matter who files for divorce first?

The person who brings the case first gets to talk first. Some lawyers swear that there is an advantage to being first. Others say it doesn’t really matter. There is no negative connotation attributable to the spouse who brings the action or to the person who responds to the action. However, as one lawyer said, “first impressions are lasting impression.” If family violence has been a part of your life you need to take action. It is more credible for a victim of family violence to bring the action first.
