  • Am I Applicant or Respondent?

    I am in a panic here..am I Applicant or Respondent in this case:

    My husband initiated the divorce several years ago.

    He has now served me with a Form 14: Notice of Motion, and Form 14A: Affidavit (General). Husband is Applicant and I am Respondent.

    I am responding with my own Form 14: Notice of Motion, and Form 14A: Affidated (General). I am asking that his motion should be adjourned to a later date as I am seeking a new lawyer and need time. When I am filling out my forms, do I become the Applicant and my husband the Respondent, or am I always the respondent.

    As the court will hear the motion on March 25th, I need advice soon!

    Thank you.l

    You're the respondent.

      Once the respondent, always the respondent.

        Even if you initiate new proceedings with a motion to change down the road, you will still be the Respondent.
