A Petition is a Court form that is completed by a spouse, known as the Petitioner, that is filing for a divorce and is ?legally served? upon the other spouse. An Answer is the responsive pleading, form, that the other spouse, known as the Respondent, should file and serve on the Petitioner. If you didn't know this, perhaps you should consider getting an attorney or discussing Mediation with your spouse.

Some courts, like the Family Court in Baton Rouge, have a self-help desk and would give you the forms to fill out and file. If your court does not have such, you can pull a suit record for any divorce case and make a copy of the petition for divorce filed in that particular case.
