No. Either a husband or a wife can bring a petition for dissolution of marriage. In some circumstances the party against whom the petition is filed may bring a counter petition for dissolution to address issues not raised in the petition. There is no benefit to winning the footrace to the courthouse, as the court will not view one party as more deserving of the relief they request based solely upon their filing first.
