FAQ
However, the timeline for an uncontested divorce in NY can vary considerably based on several factors. Depending on how quickly you and your former spouse move through the process, an uncontested divorce can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months.
The cheapest way to get divorced is by doing it yourself. A DIY divorce means that you prepare and file all the legal documents and marital agreement yourself, without a lawyer. Since you are doing all the work, you don't have any legal fees.
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.
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.
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).
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.
Because these issues have been settled, there is no need to litigate them in court. As a result, typically the judge will simply sign off on the terms and issue a final decree of 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.
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 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.
