Contested and Uncontested Divorces

The type of divorce will affect the amount of time necessary to get through the process. Contested divorces often involve a longer process, especially if both sides are involved in a bitter dispute. Uncontested divorces where both sides are in agreement start with the filing of documents. Following that step, a waiver of citation must be filed with the courthouse clerk. Both spouses must appear before a judge on or soon after the 61st day for a judge’s approval or denial.
