In cases of uncontested divorce, you may represent yourself, but a lawyer might still be helpful, especially if your spouse has one. To get an uncontested divorce, you generally have to file documents with the court. You and your spouse generally do not have to make an appearance in court.
Some uncontested divorces are resolved as quickly as six weeks, while others can take six months or more. Since New York does not have a waiting period, a divorce that both parties agree on takes roughly 3 months for the papers to be filed with the court.
If you were served with a Summons With Notice, then you must file a written response called a “Notice of Appearance and Demand for Complaint.” Essentially, you are telling your spouse's lawyer that you will want to request your own relief in this divorce action and that you want to see the Verified Complaint.

Yes. You need your final divorce order. Each court is different. However, today, most judges simply sign them. The ``stamp'' will be the automatically-generated docket information appearing on each page when the court, your attorney, or even you, file something electronically in the court's record/docket.
Your divorce is final on the day the court signs the divorce decree. You normally will receive it a few days later, since it is sent to your attorney, who will then send you a copy.
