/dɪˈfɛndɪd dɪˈvɔrs/ – Phrase
Definition: việc ly hôn trong trường hợp bị đơn phản đối.
A more thorough explanation: A defended divorce refers to a situation in which one party in a divorce proceeding disputes or contests the grounds for divorce or other issues related to the divorce, such as division of assets, child custody, or spousal support. This can lead to a more complex and adversarial legal process, as opposed to an uncontested divorce where both parties agree on the terms of the divorce.
Example: In the case of Smith v. Jones, the attorney successfully defended the divorce petition filed by the plaintiff.
