Abstract: Abstract In order to get in front of a judge who can make a decision in your case for divorce, you have to file pleadings. The judge starts off as passive in regard to your case. It is up to you and your lawyer to ask her to sign an order. You also have to convince her to do so, usually in the face of opposition by your spouse’s attorney. This is requested in a formal written document that you file with the court clerk. The clerk then puts the documents in a case file and they are presented to the judge. Pleadings refers to all of the documents filed in a case.
