Filing first does not give either spouse an advantage over how property, alimony, or child custody matters are decided. But timing does matter if immediate financial arrangements or temporary court orders are needed. Filing first also allows you to choose where proceedings will take place.
Just like marital assets, debts accumulated during the marriage are subject to equitable distribution and divided equitably, not equally. The court considers several factors when determining how debt should be divided between spouses.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to request temporary alimony, child support, or assistance with certain household expenses during divorce proceedings.
