DIVORCE INFORMATION
(Q.) What is an “Uncontested” Divorce?
(A.) Uncontested means that all the terms of the divorce are agreed upon “you and
your spouse” (prior to the filing of documents), and that your spouse will not
bring you into court for any reason (i.e. child support, spousal support, or etc.).
(Q.) How long does it take for an Uncontested Divorce to be completed?
(A.) An Uncontested Divorce normally can take up from 6-8 weeks to 3 months (or longer).
It all depends on two (2) factors which are the following:
First, how quickly can your spouse return the necessary documents to you (i.e. Affidavit
of Defendant); and Second, how busy is the Court upon filing the remaining batch of
documents to place the matrimonial action on the Uncontested Calendar.
(Q.) Will I ever be required to go to Court?
(A.) If your divorce remains "Uncontested", then you will not have to go to the court.
However, if your spouse decides to not agree with any terms of the Uncontested
Divorce (i.e. the specified ground or relief sought), then your divorce is no longer
Uncontested, and you may have to go to court.
(Q.) Can I still get a Divorce, if my Spouse Does Not Sign The Papers?
(A.) Yes! After your spouse have been served with the divorce papers, your spouse can
either sign the papers (which will expedite the divorce proceedings) or do nothing.
If your spouse chooses to not sign the papers, you can still get a divorce upon the
expiration of the 40-day waiting period (as further explained below).
(Q.) What happens if my spouse fails to appear in the divorce action?
(A.) After your spouse is served, you will have to wait 40 days after service for APS to file the
remaining batch of documents. Upon the expiration of the required days, your spouse
will have defaulted, and APS can proceed to finalize the Uncontested Divorce.
(Q.) I can't locate my spouse, can I still get a divorce?
(A.) Yes you can, this procedure is called Divorce by Publication. Due to the
requirements to obtain a divorce through this procedure, all fees associated
are slightly higher than the initial fees (as indicated below).
(Q.) If I was married in another State (or Country), can I still get a
divorce in the State of New York?
(A.) Yes! As long as your qualify for the two (2) requirements indicated below.

(Q.) Do I need to provide a copy of my marriage certificate to get a divorce?
