What is a petitioner pro?

see my answer under your earlier question

"Petitioner" is the one who starts the proceeding, "Respondent" is the other pary. "Pro per" is Latin for "for yourself," meaning representing yourself, without a lawyer, which is rarely the best way to go, especially when you don't even know the meaning of those words. There's a lot of legalese in a lawsuit, so you're best off hiring a lawyer.

This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship.

A petitioner in pro per is a person who presents a petition to the court, and who appears before a court without a legal representative or lawyer. "In propria persona" is a Latin Phrase which means "in the person of yourself.”. "In Pro Per" is a short form of the Latin phrase, "In Propria Persona”. The full term of "In Propria Persona" is hardly ever used in court. A person who is acting In Pro Per is called a Pro Per. In divorce cases, a petitioner can appear in the court without the assistance of a lawyer and present his or her case.
