A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The petitioner is the person or party who files a petition or request to the court. In an appeal, the petitioner is usually the party who lost in the lower court and is seeking further proceedings in a higher court. This can be either the plaintiff or defendant from the court below.

  • John is the petitioner in the divorce case, as he filed the petition for divorce.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: they blaimed it on their IT team for not updating it as out of stock when I paid but like buying something in stock in September then being told I won't get it until mid January is pretty wild. I do not hunt anymore but their mistake would of caused me to miss the entire season. If it wasn't so hard to get left handed ARs I would of gone elsewhere
oh that's kind of worth more than $140
