is there a form that cam just be filled out and signed by judge?

There isn't one form. There are 6 different documents that need to be filed in order For this to be done correctly. You definitely want to hire an attorney to handle this, because if it is not done correctly, it could be more costly later o

You have to follow the court order. If the other party isn't, you can file for contempt.

It’s stapled to a contempt of court filing for visitation . The petitioner is the other grandparent and the joint custody order is not even with her but her son. How is it that there is a domestic relations standing order that I never was made aware of?

A standing order means that it applies to all cases filed in that county. If it was stapled to the petition, that means you are being made aware of it. It applies from the date you were served.

None regarding parenting time. Child support and expenses until the end date.
in case spouse is hiding assets.
answered on Sep 13, 2022
There aren't really rules when married. If you think a spouse is hiding assets, you can't force them to disclose unless or until you file for divorce.
If a petitioner says their reasoning is for a specific thing, can they bring up other evidence not listed in their petition during a hearing.
answered on Sep 12, 2022
Yes, they can bring up anything that is related to the best interest of the child.
Can my address be redacted? I do not want my spouse to know where I am living out of fear he may cause me harm if he knows my address. I have not seen nor talked to him in 4 years and will be filing with publication.

He has to be able to have an address to answer the complaint if he sees it and send to you. You can use a PO Box for the Summons and you don't have to lost your address on the petition.

You need a modification of custody in child support. Even though you mentioned you do not have a lot of money for the case, a reasonable budget for an hourly attorneys is at least $10,000 - $15,000 for this type of case.

She needs an attorney. If the case has been set for a hearing, and she does not appear, the divorce case will be dismissed. Some counties will not allow for a divorce to be finalized unless an attorney files a specific motion and affidavit.

He has the right to file for legitimation and parenting time.
She did not answer the divorce complaint. That was over 45 days ago. I have since filed a motion for pleadings and a proposed final judgement but I am unsure if the court will accept it because I did not include it in the initial packet that was served to her.
answered on Aug 2, 2022
If she did not file an answer, the judge is not going to just sign a divorce decree. The judge likely will set the case for a final trial and the judge will decide the terms of the divorce after that trial. So, no, you don't have to serve her with a proposed decree.

The process for an annulment versus a divorce is not that different, so in general I would not advise filing for an annulment on the basis of impotence because that is unnecessarily embarrassing for no reason.
