more or less, the judge sometimes give the respondent a chance to respond to anything the applicant added. In any case you have the right to be heard on any given point. A point of appeal is sometimes when the judge doesnt give you the chance to reply on a specific point/

I've heard answers on both sides. Applicant is best, or not. However, you have to appreciate that the courts are heavily sided with the woman and it almost doesn't matter what you do. That being said, for the question you asked, I'd say get your paperwork in first and be the applicant.
