The reason I want to list her as the the Plaintiff is because I don't want the divorce. If I list myself as the Plaintiff then I'm saying to the courts, "I want a divorce."
The ball is in "her court"... she decided that she wanted a divorce and isn't willing to work on the marriage, why should I take the responsibility of "claiming" the divorce now?
If I prepare the papers and she files them as the plaintiff then it's her choice. She's on record as wanting the divorce.
