French term or phrase: demande principale en divorce vs. demande en divorce
Hi all,

Can someone tell me if there is a difference between a "demande **principale** en divorce" and a "demande en divorce" ? I have been translating "demande en divorce" as "petition for divorce".

Comments?

Thanks!

demande principale en divorce vs. demande en divorce


Explanation:
The "demande principale" is the first or initial petition in a divorce procedure when other divorce petitions exist (petitions based on different grounds), introduced by the other spouse or by the spouse who has introduced the first one.
