DOES IT MATTER WHO FILES A DIVORCE FIRST?

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY SPOUSE MISSES DIVORCE HEARINGS?
QUESTION: I am going through a divorce. My husband constantly misses the hearings. Do I gain advantage including in custody?

CAN I SPEED UP MY DIVORCE IF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS INVOLVED?
QUESTION: My husband is alcoholic and he resorts to spousal abuse. Can I speed up our divorce because of this?
MY RESPONSE: You could seek Domestic Violence Restraining Orders against your husband, which could result in him being excluded from your home, stay-away orders, and other DVRO orders against him, but that won't speed up your divorce. The only way that your divorce could be sped up would be by settling the divorce case, but that may not be possible if you have an abusive alcoholic husband.
