Co-respondent
Script error: No such module "Distinguish". In English law, a co-respondent is, in general, a respondent to a petition, or other legal proceeding, along with another or others, or a person called upon to answer in some other way.[1]
Divorce
More particularly, since the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857, in a petition for divorce on the ground of adultery, a co-respondent is a person charged with misconduct with the petitioner's spouse.[2]
since 2007[update]Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., alleged parties to a spouse's adultery must be made co-respondents unless they are not named in the petition or the court directs otherwise.[3][4]
In practice, naming such parties in a divorce petition is discouraged as it may become a barrier to reconciliation. Such parties are only commonly named if the petitioner is seeking costs against them or has some other particular reason.[1]Template:Sfnp
