Filing Timeframe: 30-60 Days

An uncontested divorce typically takes around 30-60 days to file, depending on the complexity of the case and the cooperation of both parties.

• Uncontested divorces are resolved by agreement between the spouses without the need for court intervention.
• The process begins with a petition filed with the court, which includes the couple's names, addresses, and financial information.
• A response is then provided by the other spouse, stating their presence in the divorce proceedings and any assets or liabilities they are claiming as part of the divorce settlement.

Using Mediation: 30-60 Days

Mediation is another alternative to court proceedings, where a neutral third-party facilitator helps the spouses negotiate a settlement. In most cases, mediation can be completed in 30-60 days or less.

• Mediation typically involves multiple sessions between the couple and their mediator, with each session lasting about an hour.
• The goal of mediation is to find a mutually acceptable agreement that addresses all parties' concerns and needs.
• Mediation can help couples avoid going to court, which can be time-consuming and costly.
