In order to file a petition for a marital dissolution you will need to prepare and file a complaint for such and a summons which gets issued. The complaint is filed with the court and when a copy of the summons and complaint are served on the spouse a proof of service and the return summons are then filed with the court. I suggest that you may want to consult with a family law attorney to assist you in your matter.
