FAQ
If there are no problems with your papers and your divorce is granted, the Judge will sign the Judgment and you will be contacted. Depending on the county where you filed your papers, the County Clerk's Office or the Supreme Court Office will contact you when the Judgment is signed and will tell you how to get it.
It usually takes one to two weeks. But if you're still in the 60-day waiting period, it could be one to two weeks after that time elapses. (In Arizona, courts must wait 60 days from when the Petition is served before they can officially divorce someone).
If due diligence fails and the spouse successfully avoids the attempts to serve the papers, the process moves into a default divorce process. In this case, the respondent has essentially given up their rights to negotiate the separation of marital assets and any issues of child custody and support orders.
Answer only. An "Answer" tells the judge and your spouse what parts of the complaint you agree with and disagree with. For instance, you might agree with paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 7, 8 of the complaint for divorce, but disagree with paragraphs 4, 5, 6 of the complaint for divorce. Write that in the Answer.
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.
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.
It is signed by the judge and filed with the County Clerk, usually in the County where the plaintiff resided. To get a copy of a divorce decree, contact the County Clerk.
If the served spouse defaults, which means they do not respond within the specified time frame, the court may proceed to grant a default judgment in favor of the filing spouse. This can lead to the divorce being finalized without the other party's signature or direct involvement.
The court will not keep you in a marriage when you do not want to stay, regardless of what your spouse wants. In New York, when a divorce petition is filed and served, and the respondent fails to respond by the deadline, the judge can grant a default or “no signature required” divorce.
If you serve the form by mail, it must be done prior to your placing your action on the court's calendar, because you will need to file the original form with the other required forms. Service by mail must be done by someone other than the Plaintiff who is over the age of 18 and not a party to the action.
