The easiest type of divorce, which takes the least amount of time, is called an uncontested divorce. If you're able to quickly come to an agreement with your spouse about alimony and division of property, your divorce can proceed through divorce court rather quickly.
You do not need a lawyer to file for divorce in Pennsylvania. You will need to file a complaint in divorce stating the grounds for your divorce and other claims you are making, including equitable distribution, custody, support - both spousal and child, and alimony.
